Be a gemologist - for a minute! The diamond below is shown at 10 power magnification, which is minimum magnification that a gemologist would use to examine a gemstone. However, higher magnification is required to look for any treatments or confirm the naturalness of the gem. Click on "Zoom In" to scope this diamond up to 60 power.

A diamond examined under magnification can exhibit a range of distinguishing features, from tiny internal fissures, or "feathers," to "naturals," which are part of the original diamond crystal surface left unpolished. These features, which are called "inclusions" and "external blemishes," are marked on the plotting diagram of the grading report.
