Welcome to this forum, sir! I suppose you know about the three volumes on inclusions by Gubelin and Koivula (Photoatlas of Inclusions in Gemstones). Probably any serious study of inclusions could start with these. If you are a serious gem inclusion photographer, I think you should contact Koivula directly, as he could give you the benefit of his great experience. I’m pretty sure he would like to have a contact such as yourself in Iran. Good luck with your work! -royjohn

Tina,
With only one picture it’s hard to tell. It could be pink opal but that is just a guess.
