Eye-visible inclusions are common in almost all quartz varieties except rose quartz. Although massive rose quartz is colored by submicroscopic inclusions (see J. S. Goreva et al., “Fibrous nanoinclusions in massive rose quartz: The origin of rose coloration,” American Mineralogist, Vol. 86, No. 4, 2001, pp. 466–472), only very rarely does this material contain macroscopic inclusions  At the 2005 Tucson gem shows, one of these contributors had some unusual rose quartz from Madagascar that displayed abundant, conspicuous inclusions with a metallic luster
PICTURES; I AM A GRADUATE GEMOLOGIST WITH LIMITED PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS. WHILE MY GEM & GEM TREATMENT SKILLS ARE VAST MY PHOTOGRAPH SKILLS ARE NOT. ONE NEEDS TO MAKE A CHOICE, BUY YOUR RARE GEMS AND JEWELRY FROM A GEMOLOGIST WHO CAN ASSURE THT WHAT YOU ARE BUYING IS WHAT YOU ARE BUYING OR A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO TAKES GREAT PHOTOS AND MAY NOT GET THE GEM CALL CORRECT. AS FAR AS ADDITIONAL PHOTOS, THAT TYPICALLY WILL NOT HAPPEN, SORRY. I RARELY GET THE TIME TO TAKE PHOTOS WHEN I GET MY SET UP AND RUNNING SO ASKING FOR SPECIAL OR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS WILL GET A HONEST
RESPONSE, BUT, NOT LIKELY THE ONE YOUR LOOKING FOR SO IF THE ONE PHOTO YOU NEED TO PURCHASE MY ONE OF A KIND ITEM IS NOT THERE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONSIDER ANOTHER SELLER THAT CAN PROVIDE YOU THE PHOTO YOU NEED OR TRY IT ON YOUR OWN HAND WHEN IT ARRIVES.
​THANKS IN ADVANCE, DON HOFLER GIA GG, AJP
VVS 1 & 2
Extra Fine Quality. These gems have microscopic inclusions which are difficult to slightly difficult to see under a loupe with 10x magnification.
VS 1
Very Fine Quality. Small pin-pricks are just visible to the scrutiny of the close naked eye. However, the beauty of the gem is not diminished in anyway.
VS 2
Fine Quality. Small pin-pricks and feathers are just visible to the scrutiny of the close naked eye. However, the overall beauty of the gem is still not diminished.
SI 1
Good Quality. These gems have inclusions, which are fairly easy to see to the close naked eye. However, the overall beauty of the gem is still high.
SI 2
Good to Medium-High Quality. These gems have inclusions which are fairly easy to see under the close naked eye. These inclusions are usually not really visible at an arm's length.
Included
