HCA on a 60/60 MRB?

[Sunfish]

I am intersted in the idea of a 60/60 diamond and found one that I like but it scores a 4.9 on HCA. Here's a link:

I specifically want something with faint brown and SBF to go with another stone I have in case you're wondering .

So does HCA still matter on a 60/60? And is this diamond a trainwreck or does it look nice? Thanks!

HCA matters for 60/60 stones. There are some well cut 60/60 stones out there scoring under 2 HCA. MY first studs fit in that category. They were bright white and sparkled but not as much color light return as ideal cut stones.

okay thanks that's very helpful. I'll toss this one aside!

For 60/60, I would also check to see that 'X' falls within the solid white border, which represents AGS ideal proportions. This may ensure that a diamond has a decent amount of dispersion, in which a 60/60 often suffers.
