One can assume that clarity I2 is what you mean, instead of 12 -- 'eye two' not 'one two'.
A diamond with clarity I2 means that there are multiple inclusions or flaws that are visible to the naked -- unmagnified -- eye. The I stands for Included and the number represents the degree to which is it included. I1 being the least to I3 being the most.
