Characteristics of Ruby's distinctive clarity include the inclusion of thin minerals called needles. When the mineral is rutile and the needle is in the intersecting group, it is called silk. Fiber rock (Silk line) may be short or long and slim, and may appear to be tightly woven.
Ruby can also contain needles consisting of other minerals, small crystals, zones of color variation, or inclusions that resemble fingerprints. Some inclusions can really contribute positively to the appearance of gems. The presence of rutile silk causes light to spread on all sides which may be too dark. This adds softness to the color and spreads the color more evenly over the crown of rubies. Intersecting needles can also cause a star effect, called asterism, if the stone is cut with a curved surface. |
