Hearts and Arrows experts, Opinion needed

[guslik]

Hello everyone!
I’m considering this stone.
These are pics of hearts and arrows pattern I received.
This stone is GIA graded with Exellent/Exellent for polish/symmetry.
I went through info that Brian from Whiteflash provided on this topic.
I looked at pictures of TRUE hearts and Arrows, but I still feel that I need an expert opinion on this one.
Please help.
Thanks a lot!

Do you have any more info on the rock? like Sarin info giving crown and pavilion info. I know the GIA will only give the depth and table % but if the seller has gone to the trouble of getting H&A pictures, they might have had a sarin done.

the pics look rather lovely - im not qualified to say if it is a *true* H&A - but i would hazard a guess that it is - or at the very least 95% there - I''ll await a cut nuts verdict.

Looks yummy to me.
You have the sarin info?
Idealscope image?

For now I only have GIA cert
Weight: 2.40ct
Measur: 8.58*8.69*5.32
Fluor: None
Depth: 61.6
Table: 56.
I know that is not enough, so I asked for sarin and and Ideal scope image.
Still waiting to get them.

8.58*8.69 is a little wider variance than I consider super-ideal but the hearts dont look hurt by it.
I usualy look for .00 - .08 ish range in the variation but its a very minor point if everything else is right.
If the crown and pavilian angles are good and the idealscope looks good it seems good to go to me.

If I may ask ... where do these pictures come from? They are formatted, oriented and sized *exactly* like someone I know of who takes these shots.

I thought they were from the place that formats them exactly like this. Are they not?

Got your email/pm answered guslik. As I had expressed in the email, those shots look similar, if not identical to the pictures I myself (and my lab assistant) take. They are even exactly the same identical pixel height that we format our H&A pix to. You may be getting snowballed. I would INSIST on seeing the Sarin results, preferably a Sarin that can generate a 3d model as well as an IS shot. It would also be appreciated if you let me know where this came from. I'm not saying my work isn't duplicatable but the chances are slim. If it is proven that this stone isn't what it's being represented as, I have a case of plagiarism on my hands.
