Looks pretty darn nice to me! Should be a well performing stone.

The small inclusion on the stone is fairly apparent in the close ups and the idealscope... do you have verification from a trusted vendor that it is eye-clean to your satisfaction? I''m not saying it won''t be eye-clean, those are very magnified images, just that it would be good to double check

Thanks for the responses so far.

This is through James Allen. I''ve asked for confirmation that it''s eye clean and am waiting for the response as well as pictures, etc on a couple of other stones as well.

Looks great from the info provided, it should be a lovely stone.

I''m not sure if it''s relevant to the evaluation but I left off the carat and price. Doh! It''s .79 and $2800. Thanks everyone!
