Can you return it?
It scores way over 2.0 on the HCA.

Unfortunately GIA has a very liberal (and diamond cutting industry friendly) definition of "excellent" cut (that large shape within the dotted lines below.)
I prefer AGS's more consumer-friendly version (the smaller shape within the solid white lines below).

To use the HCA click on the icon for "Tools" above then select HCA.
Enter the 4 numbers requested.

If a stone scores under 2 it is worth considering, but get Idealscope pics to further evaluate it.

No, I can't return it. I thought this was a really good diamond. It's comes with GIA grading report and what I really liked about it is it didn't have any black inclusions. I can't see anything unless under the mic. I bought it for 5,100 and it's G SI2 with a excellent cut.

It is much much much nicer in every way than most diamonds out there.
Enjoy it and congratulations.

Thank you Kenny.

If you can see it in-person, can compare it to the various other types of "ideal", and at the end of the day you love it, then all that matters is what you think!

No, it would likely have been discarded if you were posting for opinions on a lineup of ten stones. There's only so much we can say with certainty without having the stone in hand - or at the least many photos, and to make any decisions at all we must make certain assumptions. The issue with assumptions, of course, is that they may be wrong, and many beautiful stones will slip through the "PS checklist" cracks, we acknowledge this because the search must start somewhere, but those stones are no less beautiful for it
