• Microscopy Report:
This sapphire has multiple internal fractures. It has a cluster of rutile silk that gives it a silky translucent appearance. It also has multiple rutile needles that span the gem. The crisp in tact appearance of the rutile silk is an indicator that this sapphire has not undergone heat treatment.
