Your question was:

______
Hi,

It appears to have a very nice cut. The HCA gives it a 1.3, within Tolkowsky ideal cut range.

Is it certified? Is the color reading H-1, as in the least tinted "H" color, or is that a range of H to I?

The price is on the high end of what similar stones are going for on the internet, but if it''s a local jeweler, it''s probably a good deal as long as it is certified by a reputable lab (GIA, AGS, HRD).
