Here is a short video showing different inclusions you can find in natural or synthetic stones. All those pictures and microphotographs have been taken by me in my laboratory.
You can see inclusions in Emerald, Diamond, Tourmaline, Ruby & Sapphire, Star Sapphire natural & Synthetic, Sunstone, Natural Spinel & Synthetic, Hessonite Garnet, Quartz and finally few pictures on natural pearl surface.
To make the video as short as I can, I avoid talking about all the technical setting, etc. So if you have a specific question just ask me. If you want you can check those microphotographs on my website (Suizomex - Microfotografía) and there you have more information.
Best Regards
Olivier

You are right but usually those blue spot in Be treated stone are located around crystal inclusion inside the corundum. They are cocking the stones at very hight temperature like from 1600 to 1900º Celsius and this will leave some typical trace. Send me an email I'll post you a file with typical pictures of Be treated corundum and you'll see the difference. Check on the web about the Winza Ruby under Images. You'll see some of those characteristic stones with blue spots from Winza.

Nice description of each gemstone & its inclusions. Many synthetics & composites are passed as naturals, not to meantioned the treatments that many natural may be subjected to passed as having no treatments.

For the second part:" And diffusion ruby usually show blue flash effect about the material filled in cavities". I think you are mistaken. Be is diffusion treatment and you can NOT see the material as filling in cavity. The Be is getting inside the crystal lattice as particle and you can't see it even with a powerful stereoscope. To detect Be treatment you need this: Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Usually, blue flash will be seen when the corundum have been filled with glass!

looks interesting, I have the book by Gueblin and koivula. It's not easy to find info on this topic (inclusions) - look forward to watching tonight.

@MrFracknight 10 жыл бұрын

All gemologist are working with those books from Gübelin and Koivula. They are a bit expensive but very good information. There is new iBook now where you can find a lot of information too: the handbook of gemmology handbookofgemmology.com can be downloaded too.

Hi thank you for this informative video, I have a question.. in 18:58 you show a natural corundum (ruby) with blue dots, and you said that is natural, but blue flash and blue dots inclusion cannot be an indication of beryllium diffusion treatment? I saw some black spot on yellow sapphire treated with beryllium.... And diffusion ruby usually show blue flash effect about the material filled in cavities. Thanks
