Hi guys. I'm new here but have been looking a while. I'm about to pull the trigger on a loose stone purchase. Please let me know your opinion. Price is about $8500 (wire transfer).

I don't think the diamond is totally straight so the picture looks a little off. Can they do an idealscope image? The numbers look good.

They said that this is all that is available... what do you all think? Worth it?

If that's the best picture they have, then I would ask them to shoot another, or to give you some light scopes, because it's either a tilted picture, or it could be leakage (although the specs wouldn't suggest it). If you have the time to burn, you could order it as-is and see for yourself, otherwise, I would say try to get some more pictures.

Yeah, I agree that I would want another photo or idealscope image. The numbers look promising and like leeac suggested you could have it shipped out and have a look for yourself, but personally I'd want more images, shipping back and forth is a pita.
