In general, it is considered that transparent gemstones should be as clear and free from inclusions as possible. Inclusions are material that has become trapped in the crystal as it was formed. There are very, very few gems that contain no inclusions at all and there are some, again very few, who contain inclusions that make them incredibly interesting in their own right.
