Give it to me straight

[carotene]

Because i''m about to spend enough money to buy a compact car on a tiny rock, I would be interested in everyone''s opinion on this stone. This is a big purchase for me, i''m very picky, and i''m almost at the melt-down stage

Give it to me straight, don''t pull any punches!

There are bigger, clearer, less color, even better cut stones out there for the price, but with all combinations combined? i hope not! Thanks,

Have you put it on hold? It says sold.

As long as it is eye clean, it looks super to me

 

[carotene]

yes, i''ve put it on hold.

thanks for your opinion.

Agreed. You really can''t go wrong with an ACA. I just bought an ACA similar to yours, and let me tell you, they have that WOW factor. Just make sure it''s eye clean and you''ve got yourself a keeper. congrats.

Yep - looks like a winner. I''ve yet to see an ACA that wasn''t!

Please don''t have a melt-down, they''re messy. And ugly.


And so unecessary when buying a stone like this.

Post pics when you get it!

Thanks everyone for your replies. It makes me feel more confident in my decision. The thing that impresses me most about this forum is that there isn''t just a tolerance for newbies, there is a genuine interest in helping and educating newbies.

I participate in a few auto related forums and the responses to newbie questions can be downright venomous. None of that here, even members with 1000''s of replies. Even the bazillionth question asking "hey, hows my stone look" elicits many thoughtful and researched responses.

You guys have a great thing going and I really appreciate the info i''ve learned here. THANKS

Aww, you are very nice!

Maybe diamond people are just happier than car people? Not sure!

But to answer your original question, I''ve never seen an ACA I wouldn''t be happy to have! Come back and post pics for us! We really do enjoy seeing them!
