Hearts and arows looked very good
Ideal scope was very impressive

What are you thoughts? Thanks

spread is a little weak, due to high crown angle. but otherwise, seems fine.

 

[antcap51]

Would that angle deter you from this stone?

 

[JulieN]

if you saw it through the ideal scope correctly, and it was fine, no.

You have a FIC (firey ideal cut) - if there is no leakage, then it should have some nice fire!

[antcap51]

It has a GIA. Thanks for that link. Firey ideal cut it has lots of spectral color. How is that price?

 

[mosher]

Cert is great, price is good enjoy it

This stone scored a 2.6 on HCA and all VERY GOODS. I guess I can get a better cut stone? I have read that close to 2 is very very good and to low of a score is not always the best.

GIA reported angles are rounded.

If you want to explore online options, here are a few to get you started:

crown angle is a tad large and I usually like to see the depth at 62% or under. Not too shabby though, but you can find better. The price is reasonable.
