Clouds: A grouping of a number of extremely tiny inclusions that are too small to be distinguishable from one another, even under magnification.
Clouds
Clouds are made up of microscopically small dust-like crystals. When they are small and spread out, they diminish the clarity of the diamond only slighly.
Clouds (Cld)
A dense grouping of tiny pinpoints that create a cloudy zone which may not resolve as individual pinpoints at 10X Magnification.
Cloud Inclusion Photos ...
Clouds: hazy or milky areas of many very small, usually crystalline inclusions.
CLOUDS. Muddy or cloudy patches of any colour in a stone which, when brought to the surface by cutting, are ineradicable. "Flat, subtransparent blotches along the grain of a stone."-- Cattelle.
Clouds: A grouping of a number of tiny inclusions that is too small to be distinguishable from one another, even under magnification. Not visible by the naked eye, they look like a soft, transparent cloud under a microscope.
Clouds
A type of inclusion. A dark region or blemish on a polished stone.

CLOUDS
A cloud is a form of inclusion. But unlike carbon inclusions, which are black, "clouds" are white milky areas (clusters of tiny crystals) inherent in the diamond.
COLOR ...
Clouds - A type of inclusion in gemstones that usually a cluster of tiny inclusions that create a milky appearance and can greatly affect value.
Cluster setting - A group of small stones typically set surrounding a large center stone.
These are clouds or obscurities consisting of microscopically small crystals of dust-like appearance. The type and nature of occurring clouds in diamonds are as numerous as clouds in the sky.

Dense zoned clouds of (often, but not always) tiny particles (probably rutile), parallel to the hexagonal prism (3 directions at 60/120°) in the basal plane.
Examples include feathering, internal crystals, stains, clouds, as well as cutting or polishing errors. Florentine Finish:A type of metal finish achieved by etching or engraving parallel lines into the metal's surface in order to reduce shine.
Typical flaws include tiny pinpoints, faint clouds, tiny feathers, or internal graining.
VS1, VS2 (very slightly included) - Very small inclusions and/or finish faults, somewhat difficult for a trained eye to see under 10x magnification.
Ruby quartz has a truly one-of-a-kind appearance, with veins and clouds of beige, brown, black and white. Thin, clear flecks inside each bead give it a subtle sparkle. It is a natural gemstone, and we are told the color is natural as well.
As the gas of these primitive elements expanded, gravitational instabilities caused parts to co alesce into huge clouds that eventually became galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
It was with the gathering clouds of World War I, and its resulting horrors, however, that Expressionism gained momentum. Painters such as Wassily Kandinsky strove to portray spirituality and other intangibles on canvas.
Inclusions typically consist of crystals, clouds and feathers. Crystals are tiny minerals that become trapped inside a diamond during its formation.
The origin of the Allnatt Diamond is still under clouds; probable information that is popular is that the stone was excavated from the Premier Diamond Mine of South Africa.
Migrating herds of zebra and wildebeest cast swirling dust clouds into the sky. And in the background rises perennially snowcapped Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak.
Roots in the Ground, Head in the Clouds
Our experiences as business partners taught us a lot about the value of blending earth and spirit. I have learned to take care of sales and keep track of inventory.
and the most common types of inclusions include Crystals, Tiny Bubbles representing small minerals that were absorbed into the diamond while it was growing, Internal Graining, Needles, Knots, Chips, Cavities, Cleavage, Feathers, and Clouds.
Most diamonds contain some blemishes (crystals, clouds, or feathers), which can be found inside the stone (called inclusions). Surface blemishes are not considered a major concern, since they can often be polished away.
The colours are arraigned in strips or bands or blended in clouds and classified accordingly as moss, ribbon, dendrite, etc. The stone, widely distributed but not very popular, is generally brown.
Contains minute inclusions such as small crystals, clouds or feathers when observed with effort under 10x magnification.
Most clouds are made up of crystals too tiny to see individually under the 10X magnification of a jeweler's loupe. Clouds may be impossible to see with the naked-eye in diamonds of very high clarity. This is rarely a serious inclusion.
These Inclusions can be Cracks, Clouds, Carbon Spots, Fractures, Lines or Pinpoints to name a few. But they are all microscopic in an SI1 Clarity Diamond.
All the colors of flowers and foliage and even the blue sky and the glory of the sunset clouds, only last for a short time, and are subject to continual change, ...
Inclusions typical to synthetic ruby are curved growth lines (thin striae or bands), gas bubbles and dense clouds of extremely fine rutile silk in star stones.
- The Federal Trade Commission considers it an unfair trade practice to use the word "perfect" or any other word, expression or representation of similar import, as descriptive of any diamond that discloses flaws, cracks, carbon spots, clouds or ...
These inclusions may appear as clouds, feathers, veils, silk fibres or rutile needles.
This bond originates in the attraction of oppositely charged ions for one another, but it also involves the sharing of electrons and significant overlap of electron clouds.
Cloud
A cluster of very small inclusions inside a diamond that give a cloud effect. Tiny clouds will not interfere with the flow of light, but large or numerous clouds can affect brilliance.
Cloud
Cloud descriptive word for a group of inclusions in a gemstone that clouds its appearance. Milky stones decrease its value.
Cluster Setting
Cluster Setting is a grouping of smaller stones or pearls around a larger one.
Cloud: A form of inclusion, 'clouds' are white milky areas that can found in the diamond.
Cluster: Several stones grouped together in a jewelry setting.
cloud
A type of inclusion in gemstones that looks like a milky area or cloud. Clouds are usually clusters of smaller inclusions

As two polymer chains approach, their electron clouds repel one another. This has the effect of lowering the electron density on one side of a polymer chain, creating a slight positive dipole on this side.
(a) It is unfair or deceptive to use the word "flawless" to describe any diamond that discloses flaws, cracks, inclusions, carbon spots, clouds, internal lasering, ...
The scenery, the peace and tranquility of the sites can make for an enjoyable experience. When the "Isle of Clouds", as it was known to the Norsemen, is endowed with good weather,
the experience can be memorable!

Inclusion can be bubbles, crystals, carbon spots, feathers, clouds, pinpoints, or other impurities, or even cracks and abrasions. They are what make a diamond so unique, as a fingerprint does for a person.
A group of a number of extremely tiny white inclusions which gives a 'cloudy' or 'milky' appearance under 10X magnification. These clouds cannot be seen with the naked eye and generally does not significantly impact a gemstone's clarity grade.
condensation
Condensation is the process in which a vapor (a gas) is cooled to the liquid phase. Clouds are formed by the condensation of atmospheric water vapor.
...
Milky diamond: A diamond that has a milky, dull or hazy appearance, usually caused by clouds of microscopic inclusions.
Any of several types of clarity features which are enclosed within a host diamond and they may reach the surface. Some examples are knots, feathers, crystals, needles, clouds and pinpoints.
Knot ...
a general catch all term used to describe any number of optical or physical properties; these are determined to be negative in nature when viewing the gem. They could include but not limited to the following: carbon spots, internal crystals, clouds, ...
characterised by noticeable inclusions which are apparent under 10x magnification. In SI1 they are usually visible and SI2 quite visible to the unaided eye. Typical inclusions are included crystals, large liquid inclusions, feathers, dense clouds.
The stone of course being a Caribbean sea blue color.
The patterns in the stone - spider web, clouds - are determined by how much water was present in the stone while it was forming. The white is where the water was.
These clouds of microscopic inclusions can reduce the passage of light through a stone so severely that the stone looks "dead", with no brilliance or fire whatsoever. Such stones usually have a slightly cloudy look to the naked eye.
meteoric water The precipitation of condensed water from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. mica Individual member of the mica group. May also refer to any mineral with perfect basal cleavage that can be "peeled".
