Inclusion & Clarity Atlas
Explore common internal features, what they look like, and what they might indicate about a gem.
Important Clarity Context
Colored stones are typically evaluated eye-clean, not under 10x magnification like diamonds. Inclusions like jardin in emerald are expected, and synthetic stones have inclusions too.
Inclusion Glossary
Browse crystals, silk, healed fissures (fingerprints), feathers, cavities, growth zoning, multiphase inclusions, clouds, and cleavage. Each entry covers appearance, durability concern, and whether expert lab evaluation is sensible.
Observation Notebook
Use the interactive notebook tool to select observed inclusions and generate specific questions to ask a seller or jeweler.
