this diamond scored a 1. on HCA but has medium flourescence

[av8r]

Thoughts??
not something i was looking for myself.. but the low score did get my attention.
not sure about the flourescence though.. its for sale online for 14,500 and no return policy. -which will prob keep most away.

I don't think med fluor would even be noticeable outside a blacklit environment - and even then, it would be considered a bonus with an I, really.



That no return policy would be the real turn off for me too.

Med fluor is almost always fine. Ditto yssie, most people consider it a nice little bonus.

Why is there no return policy?

Yeah its certainly a BONUS, lucky you. I am not sure over your end, however it is priced slightly lower over here in Singapore (whereby most B&M stores have limited diamond knowledge) It look exactly the same as my other non-fluoro in almost all general light condition. It is BEAUTIFULLY illuminated when expose to UV light, I even bought a UV light just to view the diamond fluorescence Med is rare over here, mostly are non-fluoro or strong-fluoro.

Which lab graded this stone? That question is much more important, I think.
