Question about a diamond and its inclusions

[Tensai]

I was looking at purchasing this diamond:
http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-636635.htm#

But when I look at the AGS report it seems like there are a lot of inclusions on the top. I was told that it is eye clean though, so is that all that matters? It seems like a good deal right?

Thanks again.

Welcome!

It is a lovely stone, no worries if WF have verified it is eyeclean. You can't judge clarity by the plotting diagram of the report, you need the input of a vendor who understands your definition of eyeclean, and who actually has the diamond in hand, to give you an accurate idea of ' eyecleanliness'. So you should be good to go!

As long as YOU can''t see it, it''s all that matters. The magnified picture looks very clean.

The primary inclusions are listed as Crystal, Needle, Cloud: all of which are merely tiny diamonds that were trapped within the larger diamond crystal as it formed. Think of it in terms of having tiny ice crystals trapped within an ice cube, no big deal.
