black carbon???

[truong81]

my center stone is a RB 1.5 GSI1 GIA cert. i notice there are black marks that might be black carbon??? i''ve looked at the report and there was no notes about the black carbon being on the stone.

where can i take the stone to have it looked at??

Well the stone is a SI1 and often you can see inclusions a stone with that grade quality. It may not be black carbon because in some light even white inclusions look black or can be seen. Did you purchase it local?? Could you take it back to the store and have them tell you what it is??? Even if it is black carbon do you plan on returning this ring???

certs won''t say the words "black" or "carbon", just things like feather, crystal, pinpoint. whether black or white there is no indication from the certs i believe. experts can correct me if i''m wrong.

a spec of dirt on the underside of the stone migh look like a black inclusion
