Thanks in advance for the help. Any other suggestions would be great.

A couple of issues. The stone could be a good one. The problem with Blue Nile is that they don't provide you with magnified images of the stone, idealscope images, etc. I think you can call and ask them to inspect the stone to see if it is eyeclean. It does have strong fluroescence which usually has no negative effect on the stone, but you might need to see it first to be sure.

I'm not finding anything close to it in price. The fluoro really discounts the price. This is about the closest I can find:

the number looks promising. you should ask for idealscope image as well as if it's eye clean. HCA is 1.3 so it's excellent and price after pricescope discount is $2470
