Extra facet on cushion? Pic included

[elbardo]

Still shopping for a cushion....found this one but it has an extra facet that I''ve never heard of before. Judging by the picture, it looks like there are two extra facets, about half the size of others on the stone. Any thoughts on if this will noticably change the light return of the stone? It is a VS2 clarity. Trying to figure out if I should pay attention to it or keep looking...

Thanks

Does it show face up ? If not...

Down this link are detailed pictures of a large cushion with lots and lots of extra facets all around the girdle. It doesn't look bad at all

One thing to look for is girdle thickness - it may be that the part next to the extra facet is very thin (not great news) and that would be aparent on the lab report.

As far as I know, of course.

Any chance to see pictures and/or IdealScope of this ?

Dont have pictures or idealscope yet, just trying to figure out if I want to persut it more or not...since i''ve never seen an extra facet before. As far as the girdle, the GIA lists it as medium to slightly thick, faceted.

Thanks

The extra facet is visible face up or it wouldn''t be on the plot. How obvious it is would depend on the size of the diamond and the size of the table but it''s impossible to know without seeing the stone.
