Is it eyeclean? And by what definition of eyeclean?

 

[ekrub10]

Eye clean and no inclusions are on top of the stone. Would be hidden by setting too.

This is a family friend of a great friend so I'd like to think its a good deal, but just doing my due diligence.

Use this to find stones with specs that are comparable and you can see their prices:

Run the numbers through here: https://www.pricescope.com/tools/hca Anything under 2.0 is good. Anything under 3 might be good, depending on a further review.

You can buy an idealscope and learn to use it to evaluate the light performance: http://www.ideal-scope.com/cart_zoom_item.asp?Id=2&ShowAdd=Y here is how to use it: http://www.ideal-scope.com/1.using_howto.asp

Thanks very much.

Judging by https://www.pricescope.com/diamond-search-results the prices are pretty comparable. Perhaps I have some room to negotiate.

Thanks again!

Make sure you are only looking at stones with the same lab report you have. EGL stones are NOT comparable to GIA stones.
