Reading a princess cut Idealscope and ASET.

[xizenta]

Hello helpful friends.

I am considering the following stone:

2.29 carats, G, VS2. $17,594.
"excellent" polish, symmetry per GIA.
7.16x7.16x5.25mm

The following is an actual, ASET, and IdealScope image.






Please advise as to whether the light performance seems ideal. I do not know how to judge these images. Other ASET images I have seen include flashes of green and blue. It may be that this facility uses a different method for this imaging.

Any comments as to the value of the stone are appreciated. Stud or dud?

Not a dud, pretty good. If you compare to this one http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut-loose-diamond-3602267.htm
You'll see a similar look. Yours is a teeny bit leaky around the outer table and edges. It also looks fairly tinted for a G, hopefully that is just a photo anomaly.

Any idea why the ASET view looks so unusual? I thought there was supposed to be green and blue? It just looks brown and red.

It's just the photo set up. That's a seriously great ASET. And the stone is beautiful. It shows everything you need to.

Any comment to help me understand this better? I haven't seen any other ASET like this...

It's just like every other ASET. It's just got a brown cast over it. Just look for the green and red, once you do it's obvious. It's got a white background.

Compare it to these, it will make it easier.

Tint is the photo set up. Not the stone. It's in all the pictures.
