Why is my diamond have those dirty scratchy marks that I can see and whats that 'black' mark?!?!
Diamonds are like a finger blue-print and no two are alike in the world.
In the gem world we talk about the 'different' type of inclusion markings and arrive at a Quality of the stone. Even a diamond that is Flawless has some indication of its uniqueness such as a 'natural' which is a specific pattern seen by gemologist.
To summarize, don't be alarmed with the inclusion within your diamond because you'll be able to identify it and every diamond has something.
When buying a diamond remember to have a budget and than shop for your stone. Enjoy viewing the different stones all displaying its own uniqueness!
