Can't tell from the numbers need pictures and an ASET image.

If you are shopping in person, here is how to use an ASET http://www.lexusindia.in/products/gb-aset-scope.aspx and here is where to buy one: http://www.ideal-scope.com/cart_zoom_item.asp?Id=23&ShowAdd=Y Basically you want to see lots of red in the scope or the image. Green is okay too, just more red than green and not too much black or blue with ovals.

also pay particular attention to any bow tie effect which is a common problem with ovals, marquis, and pears. This is an unappealing dark spot in the center of the stone resembling a bow tie, it can make the stone appear dark and affect it's light performance. You will be able to see this with an ASET image, it will show as a large white or black area in the image.
