If the deal seems too good to be true for a stone, it likely is. There are many many many tricks used to hide quality issues such as:
I have sold stones to friends and co-workers and always price them lower than market as I am not a professional. I will also refund them if they take it to a gemologist who disagrees with my price. But as the poster has indicated the stone that was cut had numerous flaws in the cutting process and is pretty but not worth much.
Still great to look at!!!!!
