Summary: The central region of a type 1 stone was found by optical and X-ray topographic examination to be densely populated with small inclusions. The X-ray studies indicated that these were precipitates formed after growth of the stone. Precipitate sizes fell into two groups, 1 µ or less, and around 5 µ. Many cases of decoration of grown-in dislocations by these precipitates were observed.
