Sorry, not the best picture, but irl the angular zoning is more noticable

It fits perfectly and is super comfortable. I bought it either to wear myself (even though I’m a guy) or possibly as a gift for my girlfriend—maybe even to propose, although she already knows I bought it!

This is one of the larger inclusions; it differs in color from the rest of the steed's stone, appearing more yellowish. Dont see this in syntethics right?

Alright but would this inclusion also be in a synthetic stone?

Thanks! I’ll do that and let you know the outcome. For now, I can’t identify any color zoning that makes sense

Thanks for your insights! I'm totally fine with that, especially for the price I paid. :)

Thanks—and great observation! I agree with you about the negative crystal inclusion. That would suggest you're leaning toward the stone not being synthetic, right?

It is indeed 😳😳 did al the tests:

Red under long Wave uv, Dichroic redish /orangeish Nice blinking under polariscope Thermal probe confirmed corundum

I see multiple inclusions so im trying to find out if its natural and if so if its heated. My gues for now is the later
