Clarity refers to the presence of any identifying characteristics on and within the stone. Some of these occur naturally and some occur because of the stress put upon the stone during the mining process. The fewer the inclusions, the clearer, more brilliant and more expensive the diamond. "Flawless" diamond means that no inclusions can be seen under a 10x jeweler's loupe. Flawless diamonds are extremely rare.
