Diamond Term Explanation

  3. Pts , 1 Pt. is a 100th of a carat. Barninka produces diamonds from 3 points to 3 carat.
  4. Tiny parallel lines left by polishing. Fine parallel ridges confined to a single facet, caused by crystal structure irregularities, or tiny parallel polished grooves produced by irregularities in the scrape surface.
