Defintion of a cloud inclusion? How is it drawn on GIA report?

[lovelydiamond]

Is the dotted circle on the GIA report diagram showing the boundary of the cloud? or shape of the cloud?

For boundary of the cloud - I meant the grader tries to draw a boundary around the cluster of pinpoint crystal, which forms the cloud. So the pinipoint crystals are actually all over the area within the boundary.

For shape of the cloud - I mean the grader tried to show how pinpoint crystal grouping is forming the the shape of the cloud, so the pinpoint crystals are actually along the dotted circle.

I hope I explain myself right.

Yes - the dotted area. But sometimes the comments say:
Clouds not shown
Then there is no sketch

Hi Garry H (Cut Nut),

Good to see you here. I need confirmation. You said "Yes - the dotted area." Do you mean, within the dotted area? or along the dotted area?

If you get a chance, would you please comment on two other posts that I wrote:

I am asking all these questions (from my 3 posts) because I need to know whether I should keep the stone or return it to find a better one? I have only 1 more week left to decide.

Firstly i usually do not reply to multiple threads on the same topic - and a lot of other regulars do not either.
You had good answers - I read them and there was nothing to add as they came up.

So stop panicing

The outline is the outline
And VS2, especially when there is another inclusion present, can not have a deleterious impact fom a cloud
