Accompanied by report no. 2115985234 dated 16 September 2010 from the Gemological Institute of America stating that the 16.72 carat diamond is D colour, internally flawless clarity
Also accompanied by a supplemental letter from the Gemological Institute of America stating the 16.72 carat diamond has been determined to be a type IIa.

Among famous gem diamonds, the 530.20 carat Cullinan and the 105.60 carat Koh-i-noor, are examples of Type IIa
