I've shown this before in this thread:
https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-first-diamond-ring-its-electric.284924/
I'm showing it here because it surely qualifies as unique, interesting and plain odd.
The diamond has an X-shaped inclusion cloud that glows when the pavilion is lit from the side. It's set in a ring that can light it with an onboard LED or allow it to be lit with a flashlight. See the other thread for pics of the ring.
Here is a close-up of the stone, with the inclusion cloud lit:
(The stone is about 6.5x6.5mm)
The picture shows 'growth rings' (clearest towards the end of the arms) and a tiny included crystal. From what I have read, it seems that the X is caused by a transition from mostly cubic growth to mostly octahedral growth. The X is in the cubic growth sectors.
Now compare that to the oval I found above!

I got a spring cut because it looked cool online and turns out it was in fact pretty neat.
