Yeah I am curious where these are all coming from. DK actually referred me to Alex Parks.
He is sending me the stone to see myself. I have NO idea what I am actually looking for so will get lots of stills and a few videos and maybe you all aren't sick of me yet and can help me evaluate.
Can you point out where the obstruction is? Is that were the petals go dark?
Yes obstruction is when petals go dark when light is blocked (obstructed) by your head or something. Some diamonds suffer from this worse than others. Nicely cut stones only do it when you hold it really really close and others do it from a distance. Well cut stones also only one or two of the pavilion mains (pie shape facets you see under the girdle) go dark at the same time and not two next to each other. Badly cut ones two to three or even all of them go dark at once making the center look lazy or dark all the time.
I kinda think you should just evaluate if you think it’s pretty and call it a day. Trust your eyes. Look at it in different lighting and from different angles. Pop it in your setting and see how it feels.
