The diamond scored a 1.4 on HCA which is good, do you have any images?

I'm not sure about how or if the GIA report calls out black carbon, so i'll let someone else take that, but my understanding is that that's where the images come in. However, i believe with a VS2 clarity, for the most part the inclusions *should* be small enough for it to be eye-clean -- again, pictures and the gemologist holding the stone could verify it's eye clean to confirm that.
 
Nice proportions, have a picture?
 
Here's a pic I was sent, it's hard to make out.

That looks nice. You shouldn't have to worry too much about carbon spots in a VS2. They should be listed as crystal if any.
