The search for my diamond has been going on far too long now. Anyway, I thought we were in the home stretch. We select an AGS certed stone, a little over 3 carats, H SI1 (very clean), AGS Ideal 0 on the cut. (I plugged the numbers into the HCA and it came out a 0.4.) The AGS cert said "Fluorescence: Negligible". I took this to mean faint fluorescence. Anyway, the stone is at the appraisers. (We have not yet purchased but had them ship it directly to the appraisers office.) We are meeting with him and looking at the stone. Everything about it looks good. Sparkly, eye clean (the appraiser said he would have given it a VS2 and that he thought AGS was a little hard on the clarity grading), true H in color. Then he tells us that the stone has faint YELLOW fluorescence!!! My heart sinks at this point. I thought we had finally found "the one" and now it has faint yellow fluorescence. The appraiser told us that the level was very low and that it most likely would never be noticeable to me, however the idea of yellow fluorescence is a little scary. I am confused because the AGS cert never noted that the fluorescence was yellow. I would think they would make note of that.
Anyway, am I overreacting to this?? Is this a reason not to buy the stone!?!? If I love everything else about the stone, should I just let this faint yellow fluorescence thing go, or is it something to worry about!?!?!
