Clarity Scale Chart
Sapphire and other non-diamond gemstones clarity chart
Natural gemstones almost always have inclusions, indicating that they are natural and not synthetic.
While we do not carry gemstones with inclusions that can overshadow their beauty or can harm their durability, all natural gemstones almost always have some inclusions. Inclusions have an essential role in telling us about the strains and the stresses they endured during its millions of years in the making. Synthetic stones and lab-grown gemstones are often flowless or have fewer inclusions as they were grown rapidly in a controlled environment. Inclusions are a great indicator to show the complexity and uniqueness of every natural gemstone.
