[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 162815, member: 487"] In fact the darkest blues were all the rage in France 100 years ago, the darker the better...... Not these days though..... The white paper test is a good one, it will certainly show which stones have the best potential. The test is simply putting a stone on white paper under light, if you can see through it the clarity is good, if not it's not so good but can probably still be faceted. I like dark blue stones so I still send darker ones off to be cut. [/QUOTE]
