Please review this ASET - worried it isn't good

[Dsizzler]

I have been lurking and reading and looking at ASETs posted here and on Whiteflash's site (Bryan Boyne's article) and now feel like I shouldn't even think of buying a stone without one. What I understand is that mostly red means most of the overhead light is being returned, green is light entering the stone from the side. What I don't understand is if a stone is mostly showing up green, does it mean it is mostly only returning light from oblique sources and not from direct?

I saw this stone online and the vendor sent me the ASET when I requested it. It looks like it might not be a good situation.

Wanted to hear other's opinions. Thanks.

Really not good.

Not the best, no.

What are you looking for and what's your budget?

I'm not an expert but that ASET looks horrible.

Here is a video from Good Old Gold (GOG), which will help inform you of what a good ASET looks like in an asscher if you haven't watched it already.

It's not horrible. Horrible would be black and blue (with the black background, or in a white background ASET then white and blue).

Hey guys, Jules, Gypsy et al, I cannot see the file, I am getting a ' you do not have permission to view this file' message, just wondering if it's a glitch and if you have any suggestions. I have had this on a few threads now.

TIA

Thanks - I had seen a few of the GOG Asscher videos but not that one.

This stone had appealed to me because it is big, about 3.4 and is I color so was hoping it would face up white.
This stone would end up around $48k. I don't want to spend more than 50k so that left me 2k for the setting.

No idea . Weird. Can you ask Admin?

Or maybe your browser needs to be updated? Mine gets odd sometimes. Right now I can't view any videos with FIrefox.

Ahh. It's a big stone. Those are hard. There aren't a ton of them around.
DId you ask GOG to find a stone for you? That's what I'd do.

I am running Firefox from 2010, and I can still see it.

Thanks ladies! It could be my browser needs updating, I will have to check it out.
