Well, ONE thing is that they have extremely different l/w ratios.

Chart here: of 1.1 to 1.8 ratios

This is the magic saying if you don't know anything about emeralds: Find an emerald for me!

Hmmmmmmm.....some of the numbers listed above are off compared to those on the GOG site:

the sarin gives LW ratio as 1.5

and the cert. shows a 64% table and 67.9 depth....

So, I would check further re: those numbers..........

 

[Dee*Jay]

Table % on the GOG 90.6??? Is that right?

 

[Carlotta]

we were probably posting at same time....but, according to the cert, it is not right ......more like 64%

Thanks for the note Carlotta and DeeJay.

On some of the stones we've been uploading there is a software glitch sometimes on the numbers shown in that right hand column. Hence the 90% table glitch.

The proper l/w ratio is 1.50:1 which is a keen and sought after ratio and also highlights (amongst other features) one of the primary differences between that stone vs one with a l/w ratio of 1.11:1. If a person is after a more boxy squarish look 1.11:1 would be the choice. If they're after a more rectangular appearance a 1.50:1 is right smack in that zone.

Gosh, I was thinking that was such a gorgeous emerald! It has a beautiful idealscope! So I''m glad the numbers now match up correctly with what my eyes saw!
