E. Billie Hughes was spot on. When you sit in front of the microscope to view the known unknown and unknown unknown gem inclusions the challenges are immense. Reference resources and analytical gem instruments can be useful, if you are properly trained. Intellectual curiosity is also an added virtue. At the end of the day it's deliberate practice that makes you near-perfect. The micro world is truly a fascinating adventure for gemologist with limitless patience.
