A color breaking defect is allowed on a 9.8 I've never heard anyone else ever say that color loss is not a determination for the grade. If a 9.8 has a color break, it should be very tiny. The size of the color loss should lower the grade. If 1/4 inch it should be a 9.4 . Hey Lion, help me here. Is my statement above wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, color loss "itself" is not enough. Yeah of course I'm talking about finite stress marks, edge wear or whatever. Im aware that severity/size of the color breaking defect matters most. The point still stands that a 9.8 is allowed to have one within acceptable standards. I have at least one 9.8 that comes to mind with more than one example of color loss graded recently. The color loss I showed amounts to less than 1/16 of an inch. I don't even know if I'm going to submit it as I think it's a borderline 9.4-9.6 If I do it'll be screened first but we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
