How many FICs are there in the Pricescope "search by cut" db?

[Regular Guy]

- 23 by my count, today
- that''s 1.6 % of the 1427 options showing of rounds described there
- and that''s more than there used to be, I think, based on newer cut standards from both AGS & GIA

-- but mainly they''re once again findable directly by sorting on crown angles (greater than 35.5) in that db, thanks to Leonid''s recent repair.

Many thanks.

FYI...

The questions I''m interested in are, how does your wife like her stone, and where are pics?

That is sad Ira - there should probably be about 10-20% in a ''normal non stoopid lab affected world'' of sheep.

Did you buy a FIC Ira?

 

[Regular Guy]

To Julie, yes, my wife likes her ring. And Garry, yes I did purchase an FIC. Some notes are here.

Apparently, I am quite late in attempting to get pics still. We''ll see. But, also see, when this previous post was made, I think the search by cub db turned out 0 hits, probably. And, Garry, you were describing finding 1 in 2000. Despite the shortfall from what you''d like to see, going to something like 2 in 100 is something like progress.

Sorry Ira - I forgot.

Does she keep it clean?
Are the lower girdles failry long?
Can you see the reputed ''darkness'' when you view it from really close up?
