[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 469961, member: 3008"] If I find that Lava plains saph I mentioned in Lefty's (Stones I've cut) which I gave to my daughter (so not holding my breath) I'll try and get some pics. It was a very ritulated/opaque stone. Sent it up to Sapphire to have it cooked after I cut it (I only did that one pre cut one for heating). Cleared it up immensely. Some rutile left but unfortunately one of the inclusions ruptured near the surface and it ended up with a tiny pit on the table(?) surface that looked like a speck of dust. There were definitely no lines left after that treatment, which would of been high temp. I don't recall any other evidence of heating [i]that I recall[/i] [/QUOTE]
