How come there are wide variations within clarity definitions given by GIA?
For instance, I saw the other day a VS1 which only had 3 pinpoints. One on the table closer to the edge and two on the pavillion side.
I''ve also seen a VVS2 and sometimes a VVS1 with the same number of pinpoints, albeit in slight different locations.
Recently, I''ve seen a VS2 with only one blemish, a crystal in the table very near center. Other times, I have seen VS2 with clouds, crystals, and feathers!
Does the location/type of inclusion matter greatly for A. the rating, and B. visual appeal?
