Hi!
It's not ideal, I believe the cut is too deep (so it will look smaller than it should) and the crown is a bit too steep. It gets 2.4 on the HCA calculator which when searching for an ideal cut the goal is a score of less than 2. The only way you'll know if you have an H&A in to get pics through an optical symmetry viewer of the crown and pavillion images.

ETA- I'm not trying to tell you it's going to be ugly. No doubt it will be pretty just a tad off from ideal.

Actually if the optical symmetry is good, which it has a great chance of with GIA ex - then it can well be a nice sparkly stone.

and there it is straight from the horse's mouth.


As Garry said, could certainly be a very nice stone

Thanks all, this is all very helpful! Sadly, this stone was purchased before I can even see it so the hunt is still on and going....For 3 months now...

What is your budget, if you don't mind sharing. Maybe we can help.

this will certainly sparkle.

again, not sure of budget, but getting an ideal cut- H&A will definitely ensure sparkle.
