Emeralds commonly contain surface-reaching fissures that may be filled with colorless oil or resin to reduce their visibility. Microscopic examination may reveal features associated with such filling, including differences in relief, flash effects, trapped bubbles or incomplete filling within fissures.

Oiled Emerald Inclusion Photomicrographs

The Hyperion oiled emerald gallery includes microscopic features documented in natural emeralds recorded as having fissure filling with colorless oil or resin. Each entry identifies the recorded treatment and is accompanied by descriptive information and, where available, references to the gemological literature.

What Inclusions Can Reveal About Emerald Treatment

Microscopic examination is an important part of detecting fissure filling in emerald. The appearance of surface-reaching fissures and the materials within them can provide evidence of treatment and help gemologists assess the nature of the filling material.
