This gem leans a little darker in tone but is by no means opaque in low light. A very desirable shade of deep teal. Only one inclusion is noticeable under magnification. 

I scanned that inclusion with my microscope. It appears to be a very small void with a trail of negative crystals. A few larger negative crystals also surround it. Also, notice the natural growth lines are visible in the reference photo. These typically contour the shape of the uncut gem.  These are usually only visible in this capacity through the natural crystals C axis
