It sounds like a really shallow stone.
Could have been a rose cut or some other unique cut?Date: 7/24/2007 1:57:08 PM

It was loose, and I was shocked when I saw it in the shop. I looked at it through a loupe and it looked pretty clean.
It must of been the cut. It appeared you could look through to the bottom. It looked like it lacked facets. I felt bad,
it looked like it wanted to sparkle.. There was one black little speck at the very base of the stone - like the black hole..but it was tiny

Thanks for your replys. Not a fancy cut... it was shallow - come to think of it. Poor little thing.
It really was trying to catch light...
The sad little oval that couldn''t! Sounds shallow to me. Do you know what the depth was?Date: 7/24/2007 1:57:08 PM

Exactly Surf Girl - the lights off is in normal ambient office type room lighting. much of what is happening is because of the way our eyes / camera adapt to the background.Date: 8/4/2007 12:01:49 PM

Garry, that''s a great example of how diamonds often look like crap in direct sunlight, but fantastic in shaded light. Can you please explain why that happens? It seems if you''re in direct sunlight, a diamond should be white and sparkley but more often than not, they go dark in direct sun...E''splain...Please? Thanks!
