I notice the 0.57 stone idealscope image does not have the usual white spots. Is this good or bad?

I would prefer the 0.61c. I think there is some painting going on in the 0.57c.

Some reading for you.

It looks definitely painted which does not worry me in this type of diamond. Could be a good diamond jessi.
