I have seen a great I1 on here... And I saw one in real life too. You could see the inclusion when you turned the stone face down. You could only see the inclusion face up when you already knew it was there. I looked and looked and couldn''t find it before they flipped the stone over. These stones really impressed me! Other than the tiny visible inclusions, they seem totally clear. And I dig that - I like a really clear stone, but I also LIKE having, like, one visible inclusion (visible only when you know where to look) so I know it''s my stone. I haven''t been able to find a lot of I1s to look at in real life, but I have seen a couple of I2s and they looked really cloudy in addition to having visible inclusions/carbon.
So... what is the actual definition of I1?
When shopping on the internet, how can I find an I1 stone that I know only has 1 or 2 really minor visible inclusions and is otherwise very clear? I guess I can ask for the company to email me the picture of the inclusions - but how many reports are they going to be willing to send me at once?! (EGL and GIA reports have the drawings, right?)
