what do blobs like this mean on an idealscope ACA?

[D2B]

Hi

Just browsing trying to find a diamond when I saw this idealscope - with grey blobs (for want of a better description) on a ACA, what do they mean? as they dont seem to match the inclusion map? Or that I can see anyway. Have never seen those kind of marks before? Is it a photo error?

thanks

It must be the crystals mentioned on the AGS report.

That pic of the report could be exposed better to show all the inclusions.

The crystals show up on the IS, ASET and the ?X pic.

Yep, those are the crystals.

I''ve seen a lot of report scans where the inclusion map doesn''t show up--it can be kind of annoying. It would be nice if someone could figure out a way to get that fixed. It is not just WF, several of the vendors have the same issue. Is it because the red marks just don''t scan well?

Thanks,

I love this site, allways more to learn

I had never seen them bofore and was really curious. It is amazing that they arent plotted on the certificate though.

thanks again, they certainly look interesting..

I'll bet they are on the original report, clear as day.
It is the photography or the scanning that's to blame.
Sometimes they do not capture the fine details, or certain colors.

I wish vendors would be more careful about this.
When people are shopping online inclusions vanishing off a plot could be construed as misrepresentation, even if it is unintentional.

They need to add a QC step to verify that they caught a good image.

I think Moh is right, ask your rep at WF if the diamond is eyeclean, these images are hugely magnified and as such are not a reliable indicator of whether a diamond is eyeclean or not.
