[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 429484, member: 10304"] Looks a lovely stone, plus has added character I know one guy who cuts and uses inclusions to prove it's natural though he does try and place then at the girdle so setting covers them, not always possible though. Nothing is perfect in nature and when you see what occurs within some very high value stones like Rubies I am past worrying, part of the stones character. A good example is Madagasca Rubies, full of cracks and inclusions yet still valuable stones, the one below is 8.3ct and going to be re-cut to give it some life as it's 'dead' right now. Heaps happening inside.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1533073377_madagasca_ruby_8.3ct.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
