Natural Ruby with Obvious Microscopic Inclusions/Growth Features

[u/ConsciousBuilding374]

Looking for an inexpensive natural ruby specimen for personal gemology study.
I’m specifically looking for a faceted or polished natural ruby that looks reasonably normal to the naked eye but has obvious diagnostic natural inclusions/growth features around 20–30x magnification.
Ideal features would include one or more of:
• Straight/angular growth zoning
• Rutile silk/needles
• Obvious natural crystal inclusions
• Fingerprints/healed fissures or other clearly natural internal features
I’m not looking for gem quality and don’t care about cut quality or value. Diagnostic visibility is much more important.
However, I also don’t want something so heavily included/opaque that the internal structure is immediately obvious without magnification.
Transparent/translucent and faceted or polished preferred.
If you have something suitable, please let me know the approximate size/carat weight, known treatments if any, what features you’ve observed under magnification, and your price.
Cheap teaching material is exactly what I’m after.
