Opinion please on this Sarin Report

[eiger]

Hi,
I am looking for helpful advice. Please let me know if this stone is worth looking at in person. It is my plan to bring the stone to David Atlas to have his opinion, but I don't want to waste time bringing him any stone that doesn't look promising on paper.
I am told it is very much eye clean. My main concern is the proportions and the images from the report. I tend to favor smaller tables and sparkle over flash.

Thank you.

I don't know how to read a sarin report or the images that come with it. I've tried comparing these images to ones I have seen on line, but I am still unsure. Would anyone be willing to help me?

Thanks

Hi OP, Sarin values look good, hca under 2.0, just a touch deep (some people cut off at 62.5, this one is 62.6). If you don't have reflector images, have your appraiser do it for you during your return period.

I think the sarin looks good. I would have the stone sent to you first to make sure you like it and if you do, then send it to an appraiser. No point having it appraised if you don't like it. This is what I did, I bought an SI2 and wanted to be sure that it is eye clean for me and that I liked it before sending it to another PS appraiser Neil Beaty. Since it came from Blue Nile, it was not vetted so I needed the peace of mind. He did a sarin scan, an IS, ASET and hearts and arrows photos. Made sure the strong flo was ok (even though Blue Nile said it was ok, I just needed to get an unbias expert opinion) and so now I can just enjoy the stone and not second guess myself. I think you're on the right track with getting it appraised... unless you're buying from GOG, Whiteflash and Brian Gavin, where the stones are already vetted.
