Newbie here.
I am in the market for a light pink stone, and am looking at a spinel due to their hardness and affordability. After reading the sticky on buying gemstones I am still a little confused about inclusions. It seems as though some inclusions can increase the desirability or a stone, while others can ruin it? For example, the attached photo of a pink spinel has distinct orangey inclusion. Will this be terribly noticeable once it's in a ring setting (even though the seller calls out a vc1 clarity)? Should I avoid stones with this sort of inclusion all together? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
