*Photomicrograph taken by Christopher P. Smith; magnified 50x.*

In 2014, AGL had the opportunity to examine some bi-color, blue, yellow, and green sapphires from Kina, Kenya. Found in the yellow color zone of one of these sapphires was this visually striking elongate planar cloud consisting of whitish, polka dot-like inclusions, as well as minute spots. The photomicrograph on the left was taken by Christopher P. Smith; magnified 50x.

The research was published in the The Journal of Gemmology, Vol 34(8), 2015.
