Found another stone!

[96TL]

Hey guys. I was wondering if I could bother you with one more stone. I’m ready to pull the trigger on this one. The vendor has this stone in hand, and sent me several pictures. He states that it is 100% eye clean. There are a few white inclusions (crystals), but they are hard to find, even with a 10x loupe. It faces up white, and shows almost no color from the side. I’m guessing because of the strong blue fluorescence. It is not oily or milky due to the strong blue fluorescence either.

I’m really excited about this one! I know it’s not a H&A, but it looks pretty good (to me) from what I’ve learned here so far. Thanks. Dom

It looks great - just make sure your definition of eyeclean matches the vendors. In a stone this large you have more of a chance of seeing inclusions but you might be ok!

See this thread for more info regarding eyecleanliness. Does the vendor have a good return policy just in case? However it looks like a possible winner!

Thanks for the link Lorelei. I will read it through.

This vendor has 30 day return policy.

Please take some photos of the Strong Blue in sunlight. I wonder what color(s) you''ll see!

I''m not a RB expert but the stone looks nice to me. Hope you love it.

The cut specs and images look fine, ask if it''s eye clean and what their definition of eye clean is. How are you planning on setting the huge rock?

Where are the inclusions again? I can''t seem to find it. Unless my eyes are really bad, that looks like a very clean SI2.

Not sure who is going to set it yet. My jeweler who is getting me the Tacori setting assured me that his "guy" can do it for sure. Does anyone know if Tacori will set it for me? I''d probably feel the safest letting them do it.

Here is the GIA plot.

I''d only want tacori to set it if it were me. we hear more stories of designers settings getting messed up when the local jewelers try and set the stones.
