[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 429485, member: 2976"] Nice one there Dihusky, looks like you're going to have some fun with that :Y: Yeah, plenty of stones can have inclusions and still be valuable - and it is also evidence that they are likely natural stone. Sapphires and rubies definately still worth $$$ with a few inclusions. And of course, real natural emeralds are hardly every crack-free. Pyralspite-type garnets are not nearly as scarce though - if the inclusion was in a less prominent spot I wouldn't be so worried but it's just under the surface of the table so quite visible to the naked eye at some viewing angles. :( [/QUOTE]
