💎 Not every “natural-looking” inclusion is natural! 🔬
While appraising a ruby ring, I examined inclusions under magnification that, to an untrained eye, could easily be mistaken for natural ruby inclusions.
What we were actually looking at were flux inclusions — evidence associated with a flux-grown synthetic ruby.
This is why proper gemological examination matters. 🔍 A ruby can look completely natural to the naked eye, while microscopic features can reveal important information about its origin and treatment.
✨ What looks natural isn’t always natural.
At EB Diamond & Gem Appraisal, we use professional gemological examination to help identify what you're really looking at.
