I just couldn't decline the challenge of doing it with my iPhone 6s.
I used another phone for the light at 12 o'clock

A pix of the crown on my SD taken at x100 on my biological microscope.

You can see the molten bubbles of sapphire glass all on the same plane and about half way (45% from the top) through the thickness of the crystal.
