Yes, 99% of the time if graded by GIA or AGS. I'm on my 3rd VS1 stone now, all eye clean. When you get to my age all SI1 will look eye clean!...Just wondering. When you find a vs1 stone do you assume eye clean regardless of placement, size of clouds?

Ha Thanks @Dancing Fire ! I just saw this gia plot report showing a cloud right in the center of the table that took up close to half the table! But it was a vs1.
Clouds and other unreported haze issues can be a different matter, I believe - Garry H posted a GIA report the other week for a D IF that was downgraded by the vendor because of clarity issues.
I believe that GIA have been pestered to develop grading of such issues but they seem to be resistant.

LOL...yup, now give me all those small table 34.5/40.8 super ideals....your eye sight is horrible...GIA XXX will do.
I'd say the vast majority of the time VS1+ stones are going to be okay, but as @OoohShiny pointed out, you are wise to pay heed to potential inclusions that may affect transparency. Good rule of thumb is to just never assume anything because of a clarity grade.
Your specific condition would not automatically put a reject mark on the stone, but IMO it definitely warrants further investigation to ensure no transparency issues are present. Also, if you have medium+ levels of fluor in the stone, different types of inclusions can make the situation worse.

In a VS1 I doubt it will be an issue. Do you have a video or picture?

I highly doubt the cloud will negatively effect the stone. It doesn't look hazy to me, although I think at the right angle I can see the cloud.
Should be OK.
VS1 in a 100ct may not be eye clean.
Thanks for weighing in @Garry H (Cut Nut) ! I would think such a big cloud in the middle of the table would be an issue.
