James Allen 0.92 round brilliant SI1 eye-clean?

[centrifuge41]

Hi Rockytalk!

I'm checking out this stone on James Allen. It is a round brilliant cut. I see a formation of (very) small black dots starting in the middle and radiating out to about 10 or 11 o'clock.

I noticed that it is GIA Ex-Ex-Ex and scores 0.6 on HCA. I just don't know if it's eye clean.

Do you think this will be eye clean? It's hard to tell with an SI1 with 20x magnification. Any other feedback on this stone?

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Based on the type and location of the inclusions, this one may well be. You might have found yourself a bargain there!

Thanks Andelain and tyty333!

James Allen chat feels it's eye-clean. I think so too: twinning wisp is generally harder to spot. I also did the walk-away-from-monitor test.

I bought the stone. It's a manually picked-out stone that I think might very well be H&A (rather than carrying that designation directly). Interesting that the girdle inscription has H&A on it, for better or worse. GIA report confirms that inscription.
