Man has been interested in gems and jewelry from time immemorial and has been under their enchanting charm for ages, mainly due to their aesthetics, rarity value, and associated symbolism. The word gemstones brings wonderful and perfectly cut stones with an appealing twinkle in the light into mind. However, one important aspect of gemstones that is easily overlooked is the presence of inclusions. These internal features are not flaws as most people would think, but they give much-needed data about the geologic background of the gem and its overall authenticity and, in some cases, value.
In this blog, we will discuss what gemstone inclusions are, what types exist, how such inclusion stages work with the properties, and why inclusions are such an important topic for any gemologist and jeweler. Thus, by the end of the project, you will grasp that those tiny features inside the gems are important in gemology.
