HCA 5.7 ???

[diamondhunter77]

Just returned from seeing a stone in person that was hand picked for myself to view.... the stone was alive from every angle but scores a really bad HCA of 5.7... any advice...

the numbers
GIA triple EX
61.7 D
58 T
34
41.6

Yep, that stone should have some leakage with that 41.6 pav angle. It needed to be at 41.0 and could possibly have been okay up to 41.2. But I wouldn't buy a stone with those numbers because I know there are better ones available.

I'd leave it....But if you saw it in person, and you liked it and it fit the bill on everything else, then sure. 2 on the hca is what's preferred and anything under 2 is the best.
