I found a stone from a PS vendor (USA Certed) that I think I''m going to have shipped in (feedback on this site has been that it appears to be well cut and may have some promise) and have a choice of two appraisers to send it to. Christine York is listed here so I think I''m going to go with her.
So, my question is, what tests/reports should I have her do to determine if this is the quality stone I''m looking for (it''ll actually be you fab PS folks helping me figure it out
)? What''s worth the extra money (it''s already costing me $50 to ship it in and it''ll be another $50 back if I don''t like it)? Thanks in advance!
Here''s what I know about the stone if this helps:
