icosohedron crystal inclusion with visible triangular surface markings in a heated ruby.

The light reflecting off of these needles of rutile is what causes asterism—the optical phenomenon which is responsible for making this gem a “star”. Field of view 4.4mm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ae021505db3f794c52f3bd/bea80228-ea35-4878-9a17-41fba0b63a2a/KRPhotomicrographs2023_v2+3.jpg Photomicrography A minute crystal of rutile inside this pink sapphire has been damaged by low heat treatment, as indicated by the sphere surrounding the small crystal. This heat damaged inclusion vaguely resembles a pokeball or the Death Star, depending on who you ask.

There are other solid metal inclusions here of unknown identity.

This image can also be called “Forbidden Pasta”.

When exposed to long wave ultraviolet light, the stone glows a bright green. Under magnification, the rings of trace uranium are clearly visible. This image has been focus stacked, with some table facets shown to indicate the orientation of the gem.

Round air bubbles can also be seen trapped inside the glass filling.

Seen here are apatite crystals, fingerprints, oriented rutile needles glittering under direct fiberoptic light, and solid metallic inclusions of unknown identity.

This also identifies diamonds as natural and not lab-grown Field of view 4.4mm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61ae021505db3f794c52f3bd/4c381b1d-cc27-4972-8a33-7afb814650ef/KRPhotomicrographs2023_v2+15.jpg Photomicrography A trail of hexagonal etch pits march along on the face of this rough rock crystal quartz, mined in Herkimer, NY.

There is also an orangy substance scattered about. Field of view 3.3mm https://www.slrklr.com/store daily 0.75 2023-01-08
