I havent had a chance to look at any other reports or images, but have requested them. I also dont have any info on the crown and pavillion specs. The price seems fair for this stone, but I was hoping for a color closer to d/e. Unfortunately the vendor does not have a great selection at this exact point and time.

On a side note, when I view the diamond under the magnification (9x), are these inclusions that I can see in the center of the stone likely in fact truely inclusions or possible foreign debris. I guess I just expected it to be a little more eye clean under 9x.
Any thougths, or areas of concern?
Thanks very much

I don''t see any red flags at this point. It''s good that you have requested additional info like pictures, Sarin scan for the crown height and Idealscope pictures.

Thanks folks. Any other replies?

Any marks you see on the diamond are likely to be dust or a result of the photo set up, VVS clarity you won''t see anything. I would ask Jim, Julianna or Josh at James Allen to pull this diamond and talk you through it, they have great expert eyes and will be able to give you a good idea of this diamond''s personality and performance.
