I have an ideal scope and calibration CZ. The calibration CZ is great in showing me what to look for with the ideal scope.
What I can''t figure out is why to the naked eye, the CZ always looks whiter (or maybe it''s brighter?) to me than a diamond. I am not sure what the correct term is. I can''t figure out if this is just the nature of CZ looking different (better?) than a real diamond, or if it is because the CZ is colorless and the diamonds I have looked at are H-I color. I just always end up feeling that I prefer the look of the CZ.
I am not really sure what I should be expecting to see. Should a well cut diamond look as good as a well cut CZ, or is that just not possible?
