Opinions on this stone please!!

[LGail]

This stone is listed as a vendors ideal cut or preferred series. I know what the vendor names it can mean little or nothing. I don''t know that much about firescope images but I was wondering if this was bad or good. I know that there is a large feather on the lower left hand corner that can be covered 75-80% with the prong. I need to make a decision soon so please help! It is priced resonably around $6k Here are the specs:
1.44 ctw, F, I1
7.35 x 7.3 x 4.4
Depth: 60.1
Table: 57
Crown Ang: 35.6
Crown Height: 15.6
Pav Ang: 40.3
Pav Depth: 42%
Girdle: Thin
Pol/Sym: Exc/Exc
Fluor: None

NOOOOOOO!!!! you'll have to fight me for that one!!! I've had my eye on it for MONTHS because it's the only FIC I've been able to find!

OK, I'll calm down. I think this is an amazing stone. I would want to see it in person to be sure about that inclusion not bothering me, but I love everything else about it. Just make sure that there won't be durability issues from pronging the inclusion.

I'm soooooooo jealous!

PS. as I recall, the girdle on that stone is pretty thin -I'd get an opinion on that too. Better yet, I know this vendor will ship to an appraiser without charging you first, so I'd go that route. Let the appraiser know what kind of setting you want to put it in and have them tell you if it's feasible for that stone.

Hope you don't mind - I thought I'd upload this image as well. By the way, the IS image looks very good. Most of the leakage seems to be around the inclusion, and it's not bad at that.

Thank you for your feedback. Are we going to have to fight over this diamond?

No, no. I just got my ring diamond, this one is all yours. I'll still be jealous, but as long as you post pictures, and a lot of them, I'll find it in my heart to forgive you!

OR, if you want, you can just send me the ring and I'll take a bunch of pictures for ya
