Independent grading labs use different metrics to evaluate the cut. The scale from best to worst is: Ideal (AGS only) Excellent (AGS, GIA) Very Good (Most labs) Good (Most labs) Fair (Most labs) Poor (Most labs) Each grading lab has slightly different criteria, though it is generally accepted that AGS is the most strict followed by GIA then EGL, then any others as less strict (e.g. a "Very Good" from a less strict lab may be graded as a "Good" by a more strict lab). Many companies use the term "ideal" to describe their best diamonds they sell, though they may not actually be independently graded as "Ideal".

Depends on how much muscle you have, your bones structure and how much water you eat. A better question is; how much fat % should a 175 cm have. I can help with that though.


Which is best Pokemon diamond or pearl?

This is really a matter of opinion. The two versions vary on which Pokemon you can catch. Many think Diamond is the better game because of the better looking Pokemon and Dialga looks stranger then Palkia, but, in true fact, Pearl is a better version. Plakia is the stronger one. Dalga is Dragon and Steel type, where as Palkia is Dragon and Water. The two dragon types cancle each other out, but water has a better effect on steel then steel has on water, but neither are super effective to each other. Another reason why Pearl is better is because the Pokemon seem to level up quicker then on Diamond. I have both games and I have had a Dratini on each, lv 1. Both of them battled a Starly lv 2 and the Pearl Dratini's exp level was a few sections higher then the Diamond Dratini when they both got the same amount of exp. The final reason why Pearl is better is because of Poffins and Amurty Square. You have a better chance of getting a good Poffin on Pearl then you do on Diamond. My friend and I found this out when I made a Poffin on both games, same berry, same way, no burns not spillage and the one on Pearl was better. And Amurty Square, you have a much better chance of getting a good item there then you do on Diamond.

What stone is better than a Diamond?

There is no stone that is inherently "better" than a diamond as personal preferences, budget, and desired characteristics vary. However, some people may prefer gemstones like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds for their unique colors, meanings, or rarity.
