Conclusion
 
Diamond tutorial
  1. Each arrow (8) must be clearly visible with a shaft and a arrow head.
  2. The 8 arrows shafts as well as heads have to be straight and in the right position.
  3. The 8 arrow points must meet the girdle.
  4. There must be total uniformity and balance.

Poorly formed arrows.
These arrows seem to be okay, but they are not because, there is no uniformity, not all the arrowheads reach the girdle and the shafts do not line up straight with the arrowhead. Note the three red arrows indicating the misalignment.
Well-formed Arrows.
