Join my journey to an overblue stone!

Karl_K said:
Best chance of a strong overblue is vsb+si2 clarity based on clouds not shown and also gaining not shown comments.
To get a strong overblue you need high reactance+a lot going on in the stone.
It will also likely be a bit milky even without UV.
The thing is the most of those get filtered out before entering the US market.

Hypothetically, what if the only clarity characteristic listed on a report was “internal graining?”

From what I know (from Jon and Karl) rhay would make the stone really promising, especially in lower clarities (SI1 and below)

#3 looks like your best chance of success. But I understand why you like #2.

Is this one too small:

Outside of your budget but did you see the amazing diamond Dolly posted recently? Amazing!

Here’s a smaller, perhaps cheaper option than the one @YadaYadaYada posted

That sounds true. I would still like to see a stone like the below that is VVS1 but its only clarity characteristic is internal graining. Especially because internal graining reminds me of pink.

Thanks! I like the criss cut type option you posted! I'm afraid with vvs clarity it might be too clean. But I guess if there is internal graining it might work
 
lovedogs said:
Yeah, that's what I've started to realize. So hard to find. If I found a stone I like on idex, csn any vendor theoretically help me find/purchase it?

Yes, but its going to be on a as is no return basis.

To clean more than likely.
 
@Karl_K what are your thoughts on a high color, strong fluor, with I1 clarity "clarity is based on clouds not shown" plus a bunch of other inclusions?

Do you think it needs to be very strong fluor to be overblue?

Does not always have to be vsf to be overblue but its more likely.
For the amount your seeking I would stick with vsf..

I wanted to add that I once held a legit gia none that was near overblue in sunlight from UV(not reflecting sky). There are other wavelengths of UV that diamonds respond to than GIA uses. It can be argued that the are using the wrong wavelength.
There is a much better chance with vsb.
