Opinions on the DiamXray/Aset (2.07 Jubilee)

[Hdeuce22]

I would like to hear from some of you who have more knowledge than I on what these images are telling me. I feel like to the naked eye that the stone looks great but I will be honest and say that I'm very much a rookie when it comes to reading these detailed images. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a beautiful stone!

I adore that stone. Go for it.

If you have seen it in person and like it, this is the crunch test.

However for comparative purposes and to understand the diamxray, you can look at idealscope reference charts as they are
similar in how they operate.

Red = light returned (good). darker red is better.

White = light passing through without being reflected (bad).

Black = contrast (needed to provide contrast between bright and dark and which will create the scintillation and determine how big the flashes are - thinner contrast is likely to mean more pinfire, and thicker contrast means larger flashes of light).

I think this falls within the "very good light return" category.

This has some further examples rating light performance at the bottom of the test.
