I bought a 1.71 ct Burmese ruby. The stone definitely seems transparent and clean. It has a decent color, not blood red but just a bit of pink. Based on my research Mogok definitely demands a premium. I have a few questions:
1. Any rough idea of the appraisal value on a stone like this?
2. Should I go with AGS or GIA? AGS has a more solid color stone report but GIA has more international recognition. What do you guys think?
3. Do you think the color is too pink? I doubt GIA or AGS will give this a "red", but transparent pinkish-red is not bad.
4. Does the stone seem transparent to you? I know a translucent clarity can ruin a stone's value.
5. Any other thoughts.
I've been browsing PS on and off for years with various accounts. I love you guys and the amount of knowledge in this community is amazing, looking forward to see what you guys think but based on starruby.in's prices (if I can even get a 3rd, even after certification I did well).
