That is really not my type of stone, that''s a 60/60ish stone. It probably has the potential to be very pretty, but it''s not technically an ideal stone. Probably why it''s in the premium section. But with your budget, it could be a nice find. Typically I am for crown angles in the 34 range and pav under 41 but with the table/depth the crown and pav probably work well with them.
How did Mara''s comment (or any of the subsequent ones) leave that impression?
alj.....I wasn''t being critical of Mara''s comments. Honest, Mara is my friend and I know she was helping. I was just trying to help John by not making him afraid of a 60/60 stone as many, like mine can quite beautiful.Date: 6/1/2006 6:39:33 PM

She said they aren''t *her* personal favorite and that they aren''t technically ''ideal'' cuts.....both of which are true. She also said that some can be quite pretty, which is also true.
How does that translate to leaving the impression they are ''inferior''?

Mara: I hope you realize I wasn't pointing any finger at you.........
Respectfully...........
And neither, Rod, would I knowingly offend you.Date: 6/2/2006 1:51:57 PM

My question wasn''t suggesting fingerpointing at all.......and I wasn''t criticizing you.
I was saying that I don''t understand why you''d feel someone would come away with a possible ''negative impression'' of 60/60 stones when none of the comments seemed negative about them. Honestly, I still don''t see why you felt some might get that impression from any of the comments made....not just Mara''s.
If no one said anything derrogatory about 60/60 stones (and from what I can see, no one did), how could anyone be left with impression they are inferior?
My comment was not meant to scare anyone off...derrogatory would be 'man 60/60 stones suck'...which I don't think is the case, but visually they are just not my thing, having already had a large tabled stone in the past. Also, I posted the link for the tutorial for more detailed information. PS'ers can draw their own conclusions. Honestly, if I really felt like this 60/60 was not worth checking into, I would have said so flat out.Date: 6/2/2006 7:50:42 PM

Someone could be left with the impression that this type of stone is inferior because of what Mara said (above). Mara's opinion holds a lot of weight for a lot of people here, and therefore, if she advises it is not her type of stone, then that will definitely scare people off. That is how I see it.
I know that you did not mean to scare anyone off. What I am saying is that your opinion is very important to a lot of people on PS and that is why I feel Rod felt compelled to put forth a defense for this stone.
