is there a lot of light leakage in this diamond? this was provided by an AGS report.

New AGS scan this looks like which will be appearing on some of their new reports, it is colour coded so you can read it below.

Red = brightness

Green = less intense light return

Blue = contrast

Grey = leakage

This link explains in greater detail what these colours mean.

Looks like a good image.
 
so is this a good diamond based on this image alone?

"In general RED should be maximized. Some BLUE is necessary. Too much GREEN is undesirable. The distribution of the three colors is important. WHITE should be minimized."

it seems to me like there is barely any light leakage - is this how you're interpretting it as well?

It looks like a good image to me, it is a bit blurred and small on my monitor so I can't see it as clearly as I would like, but from what I can make out it looks good - I can't see any leakage but I can't see the image that clearly.

I do not know how much this would help you. I have 2 AGSL certed diamonds with this images on the cert. However, on it states ''AGSL Light Performance Map (ASET)'' and not like yours computer generated. That being said if the image is for this diamond and not computer generated then it looks good!

I think the AGSL image on the AGS cert is the same thing, computer generated not an actual image taken of the stone through the ASET scope.
 
megeve, hmm, it does say computer generated...but at the end it says "for this diamond" =/ ??
 
It is a computer generated scanned map of the diamond using AGS ASET technology rather than an actual image taken through an ASET scope.
