Noobie here: thoughts on this asscher? (strmrdr?)

[mellec730]

Hi everyone. I''ve been lurking for the last few months researching asschers. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this stone. Here are the stats: 1.55 F VS2 VG/EX Table: 58.5 Depth: 66.4 Crown: 15.3, More details can be seen here



I''m attempting to post a photo. (Fingers crossed) Thanks in advance for the help!

Be careful about posting links to stones you''re considering... there are lurkers around here who like to swipe ''em out from under you

need another pic or a diamXray too confirm it but my first impression is no go.
Not enough light return center

thanks storm! i was afraid you were going to say something like that. at first glance, i thought it looked great. but after staring at it for a while, the center started looking dark to me. but of course, i wanted your opinion, since i thought my rookie eyes might just be playing tricks on me.

also, just for my own education, was it just the pic i posted that made you say this or are you basing this on the megascope image they had posted?

the search continues!

based on the pic.

Someone else was looking at the same diamond also.
Talk to Jon about bringing a bunch in for the 2 of you too look over.

Easier said than done. Asschers with just the specs I''m looking for on paper are needles in a haystack, not to mentions clarity/color constraints and pricepoints.

I''m about to shoot this lil guy.

supply getting tight again?

Also can ya go back to taking the pictures face up instead of sitting on the side!
it makes checking them out 100x easier and less guess work!
