He he! There are about 3000 posts between (Ana-Maria) me and Mara...

If you like high contrast and fire, that's a winner, sir!

You need to ask two questions - Is it eyeclean? How eyeclean is it? And, how does this stone face up?

I can not comment on price. But, I can speak from experience. I/SI1 can be trickly. They can, without a doubt, represent an excellent bargin in a stone this size. But, it also is a border line for seeing color & inclusions in a stone of this size.

In other words, you've got to see it. And, before doing so, ask the vendor the questions above. Also important, are there any feathers & where are they? People get so caught up on eye clean, they fail to recognize the fault in a feather because typically it can not be seen. But, can seriously compromise the integrity of the stone.
