gia lab report

don't know that data (what is it?)

inclusions are on the edges (and i think can be covered by prongs)

Thanks!

 

[maxy]

also, no color to the inclusions

 

[barry]

The Sarin (Sarin Technologies) and MegaScope machines
(OGI,Ltd) provide proportion
and cut quality analyses of the diamond.
Providing us with this data will help us to
determine this diamond's light output and light leakage.
You've provided us with the inclusions' location but
their type is also very important. Certain
inclusions are more problematic and the fact that
they reside at or near the edge may be a danger signal
of chipping or fracturing to come.
See if you can obtain more information about this.

thanks, barry.

where can i get a sarin test done. (i'm in boston.)

also, fyi, the inclusions appear to be feathers, and there are quite a few of them concentrated in two locations.

any other input based on that?

 

[barry]

You might want to contact Martin Haske,
Adamas Gem Lab, Brookline, MA. for information
and assistance.

Questions to ask: Do these feathers break the surface?
Are they singles or nested?
Are there any indented naturals or cavities
in these areas? Do you see any type of
rainbow coloration at or very near these feathers?

one last thing, barry. if all checks out with the stone, what do you think of a price of $15.5

 

[barry]

You're very welcome.

As far as price, I would personally like to get
