VVS2 inclusions are very difficult to locate even at 10x magnification.

This stone measures about 14.3 x 7.2 mm.  For comparison, a 2.5 carat marquise measures about 13.5 x 6.8 mm; a 3.5 carat marquise measures about 15.2 x 7.6 mm. Elongated shapes spread their weight over a longer outline, so a 3 carat marquise faces up larger than a round of the same weight. Colorless grades keep the tips icy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions about this diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 3 carat marquise E VVS2 eye-clean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is eye-clean.
