Clarity Enhanced (F2) Minor resin is present in surface cavities.



Comments: Due to their growth conditions in nature and recovery methods, most emeralds contain surface-reaching features. For this reason, clarity enhancement is a common trade practice.
 
This seems a bit odd to me, as F2 corresponds to moderate clarity enhancement (GIA doesn’t specify oil or resin), but your text says minor resin. Do you have the GIA report number?
