Hi,
I have a yellow sapphire and I there are some contradictions and confusions that are creating a lot of troubles. The problem is there is a lot of "dust" or "cloud" in sapphire but the fingerprint seem to be intact.
When I immersed it in methlyene iodide/baby oil, and under white diffused light, I can see few yellow patches. I am attaching the images below. Need your suggestion on kind of treatment or its natural.

If the color is not better than it shows on the pics, it is probably natural (conclusion more statistic than scientific).
