This chart breaks down the 4 Cs of gemstones, but with a focus on clarity. It's a little more detailed than the Education About Gem Stones chart, but don't worry, I got your back.

The Clarity Grading chart is next on the list!
Another chart, I know, but bear with me. This one shows you how inclusions can affect the clarity of your gemstone. If you're looking for a gemstone with a high clarity grade, you'll want to avoid ones that have inclusions that are visible to the naked eye.

Introduction
So now that you've seen all these different charts and graphs, you might be wondering what the heck it all means. In a nutshell, the clarity of a gemstone refers to how many inclusions it has. Inclusions are basically tiny imperfections that occur naturally in the stone. The fewer inclusions a gemstone has, the higher its clarity grade, and the more sparkly it will be.
About
When you're shopping for a gemstone, it's important to pay attention to its clarity grade, especially if you want a gemstone that's super sparkly. High clarity grades (such as Flawless or VVS) usually come with a higher price tag, but if you're willing to compromise on clarity, you can save some money. Just keep in mind that gemstones with more inclusions will probably be less sparkly.
