As the stone progresses through the skilled hands of experienced lapidaries, it is subtly transformed from a rough gemstone into a faceted work of art.

Such a clarity grade indicates that, while minor inclusions are present, they remain difficult to detect with the naked eye and do not detract from the gem's overall aesthetic. Inclusions are often considered a signature of authenticity, further connecting the gemstone to its natural origins.
