Sounds like a really nice stone, and the price is right in line.

Sounds nice. The one thing I would note (and this is just my two cents) is that even though the HCA score is 1.9 which is still EX...the only EX in the score is the brilliance, with VG for Fire, Scint and Spread. Have you considered continuing to look to see if you can find a stone that scores more EX's on the HCA? Just a thought..it may be a personal preference thing, but figure since you are obviously going for a well cut stone from the specs..why not try to reach a higher level of well-cut. This also may be confirmed slightly by the fact that the symm and polish are only VG VG as opposed to EX EX. Splitting hairs here though

If not, this stone should be very pretty in person and as ALJ noted, the price is spot on.

Have you seen it in person or is it an online purchase?

Good luck!

I am working with a gentleman a friend recommended, over the phone. I requested he look for a H SI1 RB ideal .9x, and he said he came across this F stone and said it was a good value and asked whether I could spend more. I told him that I am going to hold out for a H SI1 with a better HCA score.

Thanks for everyones help.
