OK, I''m looking at this diamond that has a Gemex report (http://www.gemex.com/htmdocs/consumer/why_light_performance.html#). I mentioned this in another thread, but this question is a little more specific. What can an idealscope tell me that a Gemex report can''t and vice versa? From my understanding, one is measuring light return (Gemex) and one is measuring light leakage (idealscope). So are these not the same thing essentially? What I''m thinking is that if I were to draw a black circle on a piece of white paper, I could measure the area of the white space to get the area of the circle and vice versa. Maybe it doesn''t really work that way, but I''m really trying to find out how the two may compare as I''ve tried to get my hands on an idealscope, but they have been sold out since I started looking for diamonds. This diamond happens to come with a Gemex report, so maybe that already tells me what I want to know. Maybe I need medication...
Any thoughts on this?
