Is this GIA report legitimate?

[tuskenc]

I am interested in purchasing this Fancy Light Yellow radiant cut diamond, but the GIA report the company has does not list information about many of the parameters are missing. ie. clarity, table, depth, etc. I have seen other GIA reports like this, but I don''t feel 100% comfortable purchasing a stone without this information in writing. Please let me know what you think.

The Certificate you have is a Coloured Diamond and Origin Report which may be why it looks different from the white diamond reports. Have you looked on the GIA website to see if they have samples of certificates to compare? You can also type in the report number on that website and it'll bring it up if it's genuine (I think!).

ETA I've just found this http://www.gia.edu/_Microsites/ReportAnatomy/ident_report.htm However I can't see where the Origin is included on your report so it looks different from the one I've found.

Thanks for the help. I had looked at many GIA grading reports, but I just came across this website that describes a GIA origin report, which is what this is.

That website is run by Diamonds by Lauren and I''ve bought coloured diamonds from them so I''d be very reassured if they have a sample picture on there that looks like your report.
