I recently purchased a Hearts and Arrow diamond from Mondera and unfortunately did not get the crown and pavilion angles from them before the purchase (I just learned this is important) I received the stone and pattern looks very nice, but I noticed on some of the daylight views posted here the middle of the arrow pattern seems a lot darker then my stone. Is this a sign of something?

No way to know without personally inspecting it. You should have it sent to an appraiser who is familiar with appraising H&A diamonds and is famililiar with grading the optical phenomena. There are many diamonds advertised as H&A that aren't. I haven't personally seen what Mondera is selling as H&A and I do not know their standards or if they even check them so I'm in no position to comment.

Dark arrows is observer's reflection in the pavilion mains. It depends on the light conditions, distance to the stone, color of your hair and clothes. If picture was taken from a short distance, you see reflection of the camera.

Dark arrows in the Ideal-Scope or Firescope are of the same nature.
