Anyone? Sorry, I have never been able to read an ASET for a MRB

It looks like a great stone. It will have skinny arrows, which are fine, but some really prefer the "fatter" arrows. As long as you like them, that is alright. Other than that, the cut looks great. I would only make sure that the stone is eye-clean to you. What is the budget for this stone? Please make sure that you are paying fair MV.

Thank you simonedi! I'm paying $15k for this stone. From what I can tell - seems like a good value. What do you think? The return policy is great and with a PS vendor, so definitely will be able to see in person before being "stuck"!

Yes, that seems like a really fair value. Post pics when you get the stone. Also, I am not sure what the primary inclusions are, but make sure that the stone is not cloudy (not because of fluoro, but because of cloud inclusions, if any).

Comp generated ASET looks good to me. If graded by GIA, the LGF is likely to be between 79-81% which accounts for the thinner arrows.

Is there a vid or diamond image for this stone? Like simonedi has said, would like to see if the fluor has a detrimental effect on the stone.

That's incredible value if all else is well with the stone... Can you reserve it and post more details?

I am getting the stone in my hands, hopefully on Friday. I have an idealscope coming to me as well, and will post pics, video and IS images when I have them! Thanks all!

If everything turns out, you have gotten an awesome deal! (oh boy oh boy do I LOVE a good deal)

Clues to that can sometimes be found under the Comments section of the report, in combination with the order of clarity characteristics listed under Keys to the stone plot.

Finally got the stone today! Here are a few photos. I can't see the clear crystal on the table at ALL. Holy moly, pictures are so hard to do with an iPhone!

 

[SimoneDi]

It is awesome that the stone is eye-clean! It looks like a nice stone! Maybe it will be easier to place it on flat surface, focus your camera and then zoom in.

Here's a window version. The one thing I do notice is that there isn't as much contrast as you would normally see with the fatter arrows. It looks really bright and is catching a ton of light.

 

[gm89uk]

Congratulations. Can you post the GIA report?

 

[tanalasta]

Beautiful. And eye clean also!

Great deal and another example of how the I SI1 can be such fantastic value for money!

Here is the GIA report. HCA of 1.0:

Ok, so, after heading into IDJ for my appt with Yeuketil, I actually ended up returning this stone. Compared to 2.36 he had there you could definitely see some milkiness (sad face for medium florescence). Overall, we're totally happy with the decision.

BONUS: the stone that we got is a K colored stone (I never would have thought I would be ok with this color, but you couldn't tell AT ALL - in the office, in the fluorescent lighting or outside!)

So, if anyone wants to pick this stone up - it's available again at B2C.
