As you know I am a gemologist who sells gemstones, this sapphire under the microscope presents one of the most beautiful inclusions shown by the untreated sapphires and rubies: perfect silk of rutile, with its needles perfectly shaped with tips like and of iridescent colors . All this beauty is incapable of supporting the heat that humans give to the corundum (sapphire and rubies) to improve their color. So when I saw on a scale of 50 magnifications its beautiful sharp points, I felt really good. It is very nice to see gems so beautiful not modified by men.

Sapphire is the birthstones for September. It is the zodiacal stone of Taurus and the gemstone for the fifth wedding anniversary. It symbolizes noble qualities, such as wisdom, loyalty, greatness, etc.

Two types of sapphires are used in Vedic astrology: the yellow sapphire corresponds to the planet Jupiter and the blue sapphire is related to Saturn.

Sapphires are the blue gemological variety of corundums. Sapphires, Rubies and Emeralds form one of the most important groups in terms of colored stones.

"To those who are able to explore their secrets, precious stones relate to story as interesting as that of the huge pyramids erected by the Pharaohs at Memphis, and it would seem that their sublime internal spheres might be called, The Fingerprints of God" and also he called them "The usurpers from the factory". 

Edward J. Gübelin Inclusions as a Means of Gemstone Identification, 1953.
I think the best way I have to show my customers that my stones are natural is by showing them their interior, which is unique and beautiful. The scale of microphotography can be up to X50.
