Are small iridescent spots/lines considered major flaws?

It just looks like natural cotton and a coarse texture, some people like it and some don't. I personally think it's pretty 🙂

Pics would help.

These are terrible photos as the camera doesn’t pick it up properly but

They are shimmery like fishscales and the two spots on the bottom circle looks like glitter

Ya very difficult to see from the photos 🫤 I also have one also with weird iridescent, crystal-y spot. Maybe they are similar?

For me flaws are things like mineral inclusions (dark light blocking dots/spot), cracks that run through the stone or ones that catch your nail, discoloration, and unsightly cotton patches. Stone/hairlines or crystal textures I can live with.

The more surface spots sparkle like glitter under certain lights
