Please Barbra keep us updated about the results. I am a bit puzzled by the possibility of a color change colorless stone (?) and by a garnet glowing under SWUV.
The inclusion scene consists primarily of well formed crystals. No rutile was observed: Some of these inclusions almost looked like phase inclusions within negative crystals, but feel free to add your own thoughts here.

Apologies for the later response !
Thank you so much, you've been incredibly helpful and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the time you've taken to carry out all this testing and provide me with the information article.
I notice the gem I sent was not colourless, but it was one of the larger ones in the parcel so I though it would be easier to test for you.
Im off to digest that article, thank you kindly once again
