Hi.. could you pls answer a couple of questions on inclusions for me, thanks!!

1. What are the areas of the stone i should avoid having these inclusions feather, cloud & Crystal...they happened to be mentioned on nearly all the GIA reports i have gone through.

2. What should i ask the representative if i see these on the report of the stone i am interested in?

3. Any other inclusion i should be worried about?

thanks

looking at VS2... sometimes find SI1 prices very tempting but scared of more inclusions...so till now sticking with VS2.
 
At VS2 level, these inclusions will unlikely to cause any problem.

Clouds are important to check in SI grades if they set the grade regardless of where they are located in case they impact performance, ask your vendor to evaluate in all cases.

Feathers; aren''t normally an issue but again best to check with your vendor.
