I've been looking on the prices of different H&A stones and found out interesting thing. A dealer lists quite similar H&A stones with the big difference in price.For example two H&A AGS0 grades:
1.12-G-VS1-60.8%-55%-GIA-$7444 (sarin report)
1.13-G-VS1-60.8%-56%-AGS-$8000
i.e. more than $400 per carat difference.Further checking shown that these stones are from different cutters. So why is the difference? One cutter less expencive than another or AGS report cost more?leonid
