86/100 · Refined

A strong candidate on paper; confirm its light pattern in imagery.

What reads well

Surface-reaching characteristics are listed (knot); check their position on the plot for durability.
Strong blue fluorescence in a G-color stone: a small share of such stones look hazy in sunlight. View it in daylight and neutral light.
The report notes internal graining; these can soften transparency in some stones.
Screening only: for this cushion, check images or video of the exact stone for the facet pattern (bold, chunky flashes or finer "crushed ice") and any dark areas under the table.

Table · Ideal: At 61%, the table sits within the typical 56–66% range for a cushion, balancing brightness with fire.
Total depth · Closer look: 69.4% is deeper than typical for a cushion (61–69%). Extra depth holds weight below the girdle, so the stone can face up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
Length-to-width · Ideal: A 1.02:1 outline is within the classic 1–1.35:1 range for a cushion.
Polish · Ideal: Excellent polish is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Symmetry · Ideal: Excellent symmetry is the top finish grade — facets are cleanly executed with nothing that would soften sparkle.
Girdle · Ideal: Slightly thick to thick, faceted: a durable girdle thickness that doesn't hide meaningful weight.
Culet · Ideal: None: no visible culet facet when viewed face-up.
Color · Favorable: G is near-colorless and faces up white in most settings.
Clarity · Favorable: VS2 is typically eye-clean.
Fluorescence · Closer look: Strong Blue fluorescence in a G stone occasionally causes a slight haze in sunlight. View it in daylight before buying.
