Afghanistann emerald inclusions may include mineral crystals, fluid inclusions, multiphase inclusions, healed fissures, growth features and other internal features formed during or after crystal growth. Such features are important to gemologists because they can provide evidence useful in identifying emerald and evaluating a possible Afghanistann origin.

What Inclusions Can Reveal About Afghanistann Emerald
Inclusions are an important part of geographic origin determination in emerald. Their form, composition and associations can provide evidence that, when considered together with other gemological properties, may support or contradict a Afghanistann origin.
Hyperion combines inclusion photomicrography with supporting gemological information so that individual features can be compared with documented examples from Afghanistann emeralds.
