Kenny, thanks. I think I knew this difference in the cause of the poor optics, but I am not certain what types of cutting combos might result in one or the other, or what the two might look like in IS images. I ask because I have read it threads that one was a problem more than the other, and I wondered what it was in a particular angle combo that made this so, or how it was recognized in an IS.Date: 2/7/2010 5:36:07 PM

Obstruction is when light can''t get into the top of a diamond because your head is in the way.
Your head obstructs the light.
Leakage is when light leaks out the bottom or side of a diamond instead of being reflected back out the top.
