Crown ang - 34.6
Paviliion depth - 43.0
Pavillion angle - 40.9
Girdle - 0.8-3.0
Table - 56
Total Depth - 61.1
HCA score 1.5
Based on specs only, I tend to favor #1 and #3 the best mainly because of HCA score and also the Total Depth. However, I'm probably ruling out #3 as there is a noticeable large inclusion on the table that can eventually be seen with your naked eye if you stare long enough. #1 is eye clean but has an inclusion on the table that can be seen easily through the loupe and has a certificate that's 1 year old. #2 is also eye clean with no inclusions on the table and overall inclusions that are hardly noticeable with the loupe. So I like #2 because of the clarity and especially for the newer cert that states light performance is 0.
I'm having a difficult time deciding although I'm sighly favoring #2 mainly just because of the newer certification that shows light performance. I have until Monday or Tuesday to decide on the stone.
Do you advice that I get the Idealscope and light to check it's performance even though the New AGS certs gives an indication of light performance already. I would have to next day it in order to get it by Monday or Tuesday and not sure if it's really needed. Or should I send it to the appraiser to get evaluated. What are the chances of light performance of 0 in an Ideal AGS stone having only a fair Idealscope image. Advice or opinions.
