I Color Cushion (ASET image included) - Nice? White?

[ShoppingForARing]

I'm looking at the following stone and wanted to get the thoughts of others. I love the ASET and I'm thinking that because of hte ASET one can say it will face up white?

1.77 I - Color VS2 (7.06 x 7.03 x 4.79) 60% table

It should face-up white but I don’t think it will be eye-clean. The black crystal inclusions are right on the table in the center.

really? wow. I thought vs2 is usually eye clean. Are there any examples that you can post that show on a picture of a vs2 stone? I'll also do a search on here

So to answer your question, yes usually eye clean but not always.

That being said I’ll let the more expert prosumers answer. I obviously don’t see it a 1x but at 10x I do (and I’m looking off an iPad). You can always ask JA if it’s eyeclean as well.

I think that you will have a really hard time spotting this inclusion IRL. The ASET is awesome for a cushion! The I color will face up white and honestly I would not be bothered by that inclusion. At least you can see the stone in person first, JA has a great return policy if you decide not to keep it. Well cut cushions are much harder to come by and you have found a great one.

I think it looks good...its an interesting pattern...I see a lightening strike pattern in it.

Did you ask JA if it was eye-clean? I think there is a good chance at a distance (like normal viewing) that it may be clean but maybe not at closer
view (like 6 inches maybe)? This is all just speculation on my part so ask JA. You can always get it and return it if its too easy to see the inclusion.

(I just should have said Ditto SimoneDI)

Do post more pictures of it if you get it. I think it will be pretty.

Ditto @SimoneDi and @tyty333. As long as you don't have microscopes handy at work that you look at your gems under instead of doing work.
