This is a BN stone as well, right? As before, take it to an independant appraiser, as we can't tell much about fancy cuts with no ASET/IS pics. I don't see any red flags though, so it's got potential!

Still could be a pretty diamond going by the pics, especially if trying to find an attractive Princess in that size and D or E VVS are required.

 

[JulieN]

Yes, and I''m reconsidering...I guess it''s not as flat as I had originally thought.

This one is not a BN stone. I found it from Union diamonds.

Ah, ok. But same advice applies.

I would ask for an IS or ASET image.
There is way to much obstruction in those pictures to get a good feel for the stone.
So far it looks good but the dark camera is too close to the stone to get a good idea of its quality.
