#2: This is a rather common material. You may not have seen it at such magnification, though.

Oh, I just saw this thread. I love ''Guess the Inclusions''!
O.K., time to make a fairly uneducated guess - is No. 4 silk and lilly pads in a sapphire?
(Thanks so very much for doing these, btw.)

It''s not a sapphire - but it is a gem that is typically blue or violet.

Thanks Proteus. I looked it up and ''aventurescent'' means has metalic inclusions. Very cool. Now what are the white things in it?
Thanks, Sonoma

1. Parallel growth in labradorite. What are the mineral inclusions?
Good game Proteus!

Did you say another round?
Oh, yes ! ! !
In No. 1 are you referring to the vertical lines or the horizontal ones?
Thanks so much, Proteus.
I''m learning alot from this. I really appreciate your doing this. Thanks again.

Thanks Proteus. I''m going to look into Richard Liddicoat''s book right now.
I''d love to do a G.G. course but I''ve got too many things on my plate right now. How did you know I was thinking about it?
