After about a month I've narrowed my search down to two similarly priced, but totally different stones. What stone should I learn towards? Thanks in advance for the help.
Stone #1
3.01 ct
H Color
VS2 (center clean, small hideable inclusions on the sides)
Pav: 40.75
Crown: 34
Depth: 61.5%
Table: 56%
Girdle: 2%
Stone #2
3.08 ct
D color
SI1 (center clean, noticeable inclusions around edges but 1 out of the 3 white inclusions is hideable w/ prong)
Pav: 40.6
Crown: 34.5
Depth: 60.8%
Table: 56%
Girdle: 3.5%
Both are GIA certified, but stone #1 (ex/ex/ex) was run through measurement machine and is a true AGS 000. color is also extremly light for an H. Stone #2 has good inclusions for an SI1, only has only a VG polish but is a true D color (also a russian stone, whatever thats worth). Cost of the stones are within 10% of each other, with Stone #2 being slightly more expensive.
What would be your choice?
Thanks,
Scott
