Hello! The last diamond I ordered looked like a showstopper, but in person it was disappointing. So, I thought I'd play it safer this time and get a diamond with all the performance imaging. I ordered this GCAL 8x lab stone and I'm waiting to receive confirmation. Thought I'd put it out there for thoughts in case anyone sees any glaring concerns. If so, I'd have time to cancel the order and choose a different stone. I'd like to stay under $1,200, but I can flex the budget up to $1,800 for the right stone. I do prefer smaller stones (under 1ct) and warmer stones but it's hard to find that combo with a GCAL 8x cert or with all performance imaging. I saw a few stones on Adiamor that looked like they were cut to be Solasfera branded, but I'm not sure I'd like that many facets on a small stone (and I've never seen one in person).

Looking closely on the 360, I think I see a little colorless crystal just under the table at the 1:30 mark. I'm not sure if that would be notable in person
