(Perhaps any questions/discussions should be kept on that thread for use as a single reference point!)

Apologies, all - I forgot to chop the link to my post off so it takes you halfway down the page (and makes me look like I think I'm so important you should read my post first lol).

This is the thread from the top!

This GIA article is also useful in explaining how GIA identifies MMDs by looking for the different characteristics, and it includes a great graphic on the differences of Type IIa diamonds vs the other types!
