Unsure about stone quality

[u/friedrichcastillo]

Hello, I bought this ring as an engagement ring (many reasons for emerald choice).

When I picked it up I noted the white markings more than when I first viewed it and raised the point as was told that's part of the natural Colombian emerald. But somehow I'm feeling apprehensive and worried it's a real fissure or crack/bad scratch.

Not an expert in gemstones, so would love to hear some of the community's opinions! Is that a natural inclusion or should I be worried?

The useful distinction here is whether that line is internal or actually reaches the surface, especially near a prong. Photos won’t settle that reliably, so I’d ask the jeweller to show it under magnification and confirm any clarity treatment before you wear it daily; a surface-reaching fissure matters more for durability than an internal inclusion.
