I gem can still be defective without their gemstone show in, case in point Amethyst is defective yet her gem looks exactly the same as the other of her caste, padparadscha sapphire is defective yet her gemstone looks fine. I would argue Pink is defective exactly because she is Pink Diamond, Pink Diamonds do not get their colours in the same way as other Diamonds, while White is pure and Yellow and Blue get their shades from stray molecules in their structure,  Blue gets it colour from Boron within the gemstone adsorbing the Red,Yellow and Green light, Yellow gets its colour from Nitrogen atoms adsorbing Blue light, but Pink Diamond gets its hue not from stray atoms, but from a inherant change in the crystal structure. When the Diamond is in the crust a huge amount of pressure is placed on it, causing its crystal lattice to DISTORT and adsorb Green light.

Pink is defective and smaller because the inherant structure of her Gemstone came out as wrong, a Pink diamond cannot be anything but defective because the presence of the colours pink is directly because of a defect.If Pink came out as normal she would not of been Pink, she would of likely been a differant hue or shade, Orange,Green or maybe Purple if she was on the edge of being defective (since purple is caused by a similar distortion,but also the presence of hydrogen).
