I have narrowed it down to two stones. You can see the first stone Here. This weekend I will see the one from Whiteflash this weekend as it arrived at Rock Dock today. Here are his initial comments. I will also try to post the pics he sent me. Now I really need your guys help. The larger stone is about $7500.00 more so that does weigh into the decision a little.
Visual Appearance... This of course is just a cursory opinion of the second stone, noting the obvious characteristics of it.
Internal Strain
Both stones have the presence of strain. Neither I see has a durability problem. The smaller stone''s strain is not near the edge of the stone, and is primarilly blue with some orange color strain in it.
Face Up Body Color
Color wise, the larger stone appear a tad ( very little ) less colorless than the smaller stone.
White light return
The larger stone has more white light return.
The smaller stone has a little less white light return
Color light return
The larger stone has a little less color light return than the smaller one.
The smaller stone has more and broader spectral colors eminating from it.
Hearts and Arrows Image
The smaller stone has a fine H&A image in it.
Note the photos are not enhanced.
