SOLD :)

This is a beautiful shifter of a spinel - it's a lavender/blue/periwinkle spinel :) It is 5.8 mm round, and was precision cut by Dan Stair. It is fairly lightweight at .70 cts, but he did a great job getting all the weight to show so well in the face, since it's close to 6 mm!

This one really is a shifter. It can look more purple to lavender to bluer, or a periwinkle mix of both. Dan said it is very possibly a cobalt spinel, but it has not been tested. I've held onto this one bc it can look so breathtaking, and it's not overly dark like many of them can be. But I now have a suite of 3 similarly colored Barry B spinels (they took me years to put together!), so I don't "need" this one like I used to ;)

This one has great sparkle and you will often see fire in the sunlight; the clarity is very good too. I can see one needle like inclusion but not face up, only when I view it upside down. So it appears eye clean to me.

The pics show a good representation of how this gem can look in varying lighting. It shifts just in varying degrees of sunlight.

Shipping included in price, within US only. (Sorry but I only ship within the US!). Pymt via paypal only, please. This will ship insured via USPS.
