Disclosure & "Halo"-Inclusions

Fig. 68. Solid inclusions in a natural orange-red sapphire from Songea (Tanzania) enhanced with the new E(IM)-method with inclusions showing a blue halo. Note: The blue halos around the inclusions (See Fig. 13) are absent in samples unenhanced by heat. The formation of blue halos is induced by Ti migration
