| Emeralds from various
mines have different kinds of inclusions. These inclusions
can be seen by naked eye or else under magnification.
If no inclusions are seen even under magnification then
the chances are that the Gem under examination is either
a piece of glass or a fake Gem. |

include flakes of mica, inclusions like fibre, milky white
spots, straw and bamboos and small cubes of rock salt
are also seen sometimes. Black spots are also seen in
Emeralds. |
| Emeralds were formed
when lava coming out from the volcanoes got solidified
on the surface of the earth. At this stage its fast solidification
led to certain flaws in its crystal formation and certain
foreign elements also got into it. |
| The synthetic Emeralds
contain 'nail' like inclusions, 'brush-marks' or chains
of bubbles. |
