Good evening everybody!

I have this blue sapphire I would like to appraise but I have my doubts on that stone.
The stone has not a good jewelry quality but it has 9.2 carats. Actually the inner life of the stone let me assume that it is natural but I still have my doubts what concerns the authenticity/treatment status.... I'm not sure if the lamellae are natural or from a synthesis. I can't figure out the inclusions. The stone is kind of opaque but the carat number is high. Unfortunately I'm clueless. :(

Are we quite sure this is a blue sapphire?
