My other thread got long, so I thought I'd post the new images I just received of the OEC I am considering here. I need to decide whether to pay to have the stone shipped to me to check out. This one got a thumbs up from my trusted vendor.
To recap:
3.04 carat J VS2
G/G
67 d 51 t
no flr, large culet
8.83 x 9.06 x 5.99
GIA cert is here: http://www.gia.edu/cs/Satellite?rep...ename=GIA/Dispatcher&c=Page&cid=1355954554547
I'm awaiting some IRL photos and video to help me get a better feel for the facet pattern. Any thoughts on the ASET/IS images? What do the black "petals" in the center of the red/black image tell me? What about the fact that the multicolored image is more green than red toward the edges? (Yeah, I'm new to ASET and IS. Can you tell?) I know that antique OECs are about more than light return but this is still an important consideration for me.
Not sure about the white specks on center of the table. Looks from the cert like a crystal? I'm hoping it's less apparent in real life.
Any thoughts MUCH appreciated.
