We spotted this yesterday, while examining a lot of red spinels from Pein-Pyit a Burmese broker brought to our office.

A pretty neat inclusion to see under the microscope. We don't have any microphotography setup in the office, so we had to make due with a smartphone. It still turned out quite OK.
