    A couple of weeks ago, a customer needed a replacement diamond for a
    small, gent's cluster ring. Upon examination, I noticed that two of
    the stones have a square-shaped "phantoms" directly under their table
    facets. Although not very common, they are a cluster of extremely
    tiny pinpoint crystal inclusions that gather in a cubic shape that
    mimics the diamond's isometric (cubic) crystal system. See two photos
    of them heRe:

    Since these two finished stones are basically the same size, the
    phantoms are also the same size, shape and color, coupled with the
    fact that they made it into the same piece of jewelry, the chances
    are pretty good that they came from the same rough. 

    The customer was very nice about trading me for two stones of better
    clarity and color so that I could add these to my modest gemological
    collection so, they are no longer mounted.
