What does the term veil mean?

[Gempassion]

Hi,
I''m just wondering what a veil is?

 

[RockHugger]

Its a healed or partially healed fracture in a stone. Just a type of inclusion. Looks like lace or a fingerprint.

Rock Hugger,

Good call. Think of a ladies gossamer silk scarf that''s a good analogy.
