This page gathers stones recorded in our inventory at the TS clarity designation — transparent material carrying slight inclusions, visible under magnification and assessed individually by eye and loupe. Clarity in coloured stones is read differently from diamond: what matters is how a stone presents face-up, how freely light passes through it, and whether inclusions sit where they interrupt the colour or quietly at the edges.
The varieties that appear here reflect that reality. Paraiba Tourmaline and Rubellite Tourmaline belong to a group that habitually forms with liquid-filled cavities and fine growth tubes, so slight inclusions are characteristic rather than exceptional. Spessartite Garnet frequently shows wavy or feather-like internal features from its manganese-rich growth environment, while Chrysoberyl — a notably hard species — is typically cleaner but can carry fine internal structure.
When choosing between them, weigh the placement of inclusions as much as their presence. A slight inclusion beneath a crown facet reads differently from one at the centre of the table. Consider too the cut and how well it returns light, the depth and evenness of colour, and, in the tourmalines especially, whether saturation matters more to you than absolute transparency.
