    Windowing is a fault;  there is no acceptable amount of windowing. 

    A common fault with colored stones is that they are poorly cut.  It
    takes more care to cut a stone properly. It seems axiomatic that
    stones are best cut by amateurs (in the original sense of that word)
    because they take the time to do it properly. They are not
    commercially motivated. 

    If you're buying commercially it's going to be a mixed bag.
