Inclusions within this ruby are not flaws to be dismissed, but rather unique identifiers that add character and provenance, and they can include fine silk like rutile needles, small mineral crystals, and growth zoning that together create an internal fingerprint unique to this specimen. These features assist gemologists in confirming natural origin and treatment history, and they often contribute to the stone's optical depth and personality when viewed face up, with certain internal networks enhancing the perception of color and luster under light. For the discerning purchaser, such inclusions also function as practical security markers, making the stone easier to identify in the future without detracting from its aesthetic value. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes brilliance and distributes the vivid pinkish red hue across the table and crown, while the excellent polish ensures optimal surface reflectivity.
