Diamond Tutorial: What is a Cloud?

Clouds: Referring to a group of extremely small inclusions that are too tiny to distinguish from one another from either the naked eye or even under intense magnification.

The result is that, under a professional microscope, this inclusion grouping can appear as if like a soft transparent cloud. This tends to be visible only deep inside the diamond. These “clouds” are not visible to the naked eye. In normal circumstances this type of inclusion does not impact in a any great way the diamond”s clarity grade or value.
