Inclusion scene in a Brazilian emerald
This stone was originally misidentified as a Colombian emerald based off color, but under magnification you can clearly see the blocky multi-phase inclusions, rain-like needles, and phlogopite/biotite mineral inclusions typical of Brazilian material. Be careful when IDing stone origin by eye!
