I hope it's ok I post this;

It's a neat chart that shows the various examples of what you see in diffused sapphires and rubies.

I couldn't quite enlarge it enough to read it, but its a great idea to show the indicators of various treatments. Thanks for sharing it.

Screwing my eyes up to look at it, I have a feeling that those photos are a combination of ones that you can find elsewhere. Not sure where I've seen them but if you Google search you may find them. I've also got a book that has examples and I wonder if they've come from there also?
