Please help me find an old mine lab diamond

Yesterday I've got inspired by the post of @TiffanyBlue and I can't get out of my head, that I need an OMC. I think, this is going to be the last "big" diamond on my wish list for a while. I was considering 2 smaller projects in the next 2 months - 2 bands from Polamai - but those can wait, I have several bands.

After looking at differend vendors, I have found this stone:

I'm afraid, I see growth lines at one angle, and also that the stone is too dark. This is a CVD stone, and I prefer HPHT stones, but those are priced higher, and on the other hand, I love the shape and the cut pattern, this is the pattern and proportions I'm looking for.

Would you buy it, if the price is right?

I follow Alex Park on IG, and he has posted a beautiful OMC on his IG a few days ago, but that one was G color, and it seemed a bit too yellow for me.

If the return policy is good, I say go for it. There are stria in natural diamonds, too. They may or may not affect light return.

Unfortunately I’m in Europe, so return is theoretically possible but economically not worth. I may not get back the paid import tax after returning the stone.

I do not have the best eyes but that cushion looks really nice to me. Love the cut!
