Inclusions - Round diamond

[cyan20]

If there is carbon in the diamond will the GIA report state it on there?

Clarity grading is done face up so the inclusions will be plotted from that aspect on the diagram, therefore it is possible you might see something from the sides or pavilion view. It is best to be clear what your expectations are concerning ' eyecleanliness' and make sure the vendor you are working with understands them to avoid disappointment when you receive the diamond.

I will resist the urge to tell you that there is carbon in all diamonds. Since diamonds ARE carbon it would be a smart alec reply.

The GIA paper will show you the relative position from a face up view of where the inclusions are. they will normally be garnet or olivine or even occasionally another diamond crystal, and even the ones that look black are normally deep red in transmitted light. They tend to look black because they are blocking the light return to your eye (when they are large enough to see) and are thus silhouetted and black looking.

The report however will not normally state the nature of the inclusions, just show you where they are as seen from the top. If the inclusion touches the pavilion of the stone they will be diagramed from the bottom view of the stone.
