***Inclusions as defined by the GIA, the Gemological Institute of America, the world’s foremost authority on gems:
Inclusions are characteristics which are inside a stone or that extend to the inside from the surface. These include:
- Clouds- hazy areas in a stone
- Needles- long thin inclusions, also called growth tubes
- Cracks- also called fractures, breaks or feathers. Straight flat cracks are called cleavages.
- Halos- circular fractures
- Growth or Color Zoning- uneven color distribution in a stone
- Cavities- holes or indentations extending from the surface into the stone
- Chips- notches or chips
Inclusions are entirely normal within gemstones and most do not affect the structural integrity of the stone. Some gemstones are actually more prone to inclusions such as labradorite and moonstone.
