some SHOCK VALUE!
This has been VERY entertaining! I am glad that so many people jumped on this thread, so here are the facts:
1. I am in the market for that stone BUT I DID NOT BUY IT, AND IF I DID, I wouldn''t admit it on here!
2. All your help has been helpful but ''scrutinizing to the maximum''
3. That was the actual photos I took of the stone, and it is not a CZ, its the real deal.
4. I still have not been able to locate, even with all your assistance... A similar or slightly higher-grade stone with the Hearts and Arrows feature for a comparable price.
5. I was able to negotiate a slightly better price with the condition that they re-certify the stone through either GIA or AGS and should come back with no significant discrepancies. (Which they told me can undoubtably happen, but maybe not on the first examination. They also told me that many many dealers buy EGL and send it to GIA or AGS for certification..... BUT, sometimes they have to send the stone anywhere from once to four times- which then raises the end-price significantly, but its a very common practice.
6. I truly appreciate all of you on here! Even the ones who tried to ''stick it to me''
I will now enjoy a weekend trekking across Israel in INSANE HEAT..... its 35 right now and im not even in the desert area.
Thank you all
Anthony
Is there any reason that you can put forward that would stop me from asking
(You can email me or some of the other vendors privately if you think you have been wronged.)
"Are you a schill for EGL Israel?"
You registered and posted this smoke screen

Then a few minutes later you posted this reply about a dozen posts down on a negative press story about EGL

"I''ve heard about this as well. But from personal experiance, I have bought several stones at the Israeli Boursa with EGL''s. When I resold them, the customers requested GIA or AGS certs which I then had to send in the stones to get certified, in all cases they matched my israeli EGLs and in a case or two, the % distribution (cut) was a higher grade when marked by GIA... "
And you made a few more vacant posts to keep the wool over our eyes and maintain your disguise.
