Spinel I'm looking at. It's otherwise exactly what I want. Has a major fracture on the table. Is this a killer? The stone is priced at approximately 20% of what it would cost if it were clean. The fracture is oriented almost perfectly perpendicular to the table.
Is this a no go? It's not a particularly big stone. Worried about durability of the stone, ability to clean, etc. Also would like to know how much a bad fracture like this should alter the value of the stone.
EDIT: Note, this is a -fracture-, not an inclusion.
