You are correct. I let my excitement at the cuprian color cloud my judgement. Paid around $500/carat.
I did not know that AGL will cert as opalescent. Good to know!
I will chalk this up to the school of hard knocks.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
You would be surprised at how popular nice green sapphires are, and how hard they are to find without being brownish or dark. Has the initial disappointment faded, and you're actually pretty happy with the stone, or still not sure? You always have the option of trying to resell for around what you paid.
ETA, I know you already suggested setting plans, but sometimes taking a step back can be helpful. Not trying to deter you in any direction.
