Kozibe effect

[Roselina]

Hi diamond experts
I was wondering if the little dots around the center of that stone are the so called kozibe effect as the reflection of the culet? I have never seen it before in person, just noticed now by closer examination...

Thank you!

Yes, that is correct, one of my favorite features of old cuts!

Trypophobia is an aversion to the sight of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps.[3][4] It is not officially recognized as a mental disorder, but may be diagnosed as a specific phobia if excessive fear and distress occur.[1][3] People may express only disgust to trypophobic imagery.[3]

The scientific understanding of trypophobia is limited.[3] Although few studies have been done on trypophobia, researchers hypothesize that it is the result of a biological revulsion that associates trypophobic shapes with danger or disease, and may therefore have an evolutionary basis.[1][3] Exposure therapy is a possible treatment.[1]

The term trypophobia was coined by a participant in an online forum in 2005.[5] It has since become a popular topic on social media.[5]
