I’m new to diamond shopping. I have selected a 5.5ct stone that looks eye clean but just got the GIA report and it shows “natural” and a decent sized green area outlined. Can anyone help me interpret this?
I read about indented natural. But it just says “natural” in the symbol section

thing??

We dont know the clarity???
But as natural is the last listed it is the least important - so not an issue.
What is unusual is the long open culet marked on the plot and seemingly visible in the photo.

Thank you. Garry. Here is the info I have and a picture. Cutlet was listed as very small. Is that abnormal?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

I personally think its a little dark under the table. I would be looking for one with a more even distribution of brilliance across the diamond.

Darkness around the keel
suggests leakage to me which may annoy you in time. It's hard to.tell for certain without a video but it looks to me as though the large step facets around the keel are creating a window through which you can see the skin of your hand, rather than reflecting light back to your eye as a well cut diamond should.

Be aware that Gary may be unable to comment further on another vendors stone without breaching forum rules.

Oh my. I have a video but can’t seem to add it here. Thank you for the info. I’ll see if I can figure out how to attach the video. Thank you very much for pointing this concern out.

Apologies for the tardiness of my response.

I marked the area of concern in bright pink.
The center demonstrates obstruction/leakage.
The dimness in the center requires more investigation.
I love the size. The clarity is great!
This static image demonstrates p3 issues, at least, at this angle.
If you can take a video, upload it to youtube, and post it, here, it would be helpful to see if this phenomenon is consistent across the stone, or if this is just a bad angle for a still photo.
If you are able to obtain ASET image of the stone (either your own or from the vendor), that would be significantly helpful.
