Hi Tudor,
Really nice images of the stone!
Those look like sulfide, based on the color. They don’t look like the Pyrite version since they don’t have a cubic definition. Can you take a higher magnification of one specific inclusion?
Here are some additional resources:
Spinel Inclusions (GIA) will need to download the pdf file to review.
Does look like there are some feather / fingerprint type of inclusions as well.
Cheers!

Hey, thank you very much for the links, they look, yeah, like sulfide inclusions. I think there are also some fingerprint inclusions inside. I am actually pretty new to this gemstones inclusions so it’s hard for me to know for sure what is inside. This Spinel comes from Myanmar, Burma. But I am not 100% sure what the gemologist saw, that’s why I am researching. Thanks for the answer. have a nice day!
