The certificate clearly states that this stone meet's AIGS strict criteria for the "Jedi" designation. They only note the origin as “Myanmar."
I do not have any knowledge of which mine it originated from. I do know that this is not typical Mogok color and that it does not have the sulfer inclusions common to (but not ubiquitous in) Mansin material. Someone asked if it could it be Namya, but I would have no way of confirming it if it were. In the end, all we really know is that this is a Jedi Spinel from Burma.
What we do know is that it has undeniably vivid color, very strong fluorescence and amazingly effective cutting. The brilliance, light return and play of light is just astounding. This one really dances…and it’s over 2ct.
So yes, this is a very rare find.
It has a number of transparent inclusions (bubbles, appetite crystals and a feather under the table)that are not visible under normal viewing conditions.
The inclusions are easiest to detect when a light source illuminates the gem from the side or from behind - conditions that would be all but eliminated once set.
This one was $2675/ct ($5698.50 for the stone)
I’ve reduced it to 2.13ct @ $2300/ct = $4899 (shipped with AIGS certificate) in hope of a quick sale. I cannot go lower than this as I am already selling at a loss.

***The 2.47 red spinel is currently out getting a GIT certificate and *may* become available for sale. It is a very rare, pure stoplight red with no significant modifiers (and still fluoresces). The photo and videos skew it a little orange, but that is not the case in real life. This may be the purest red I've seen in over 25 years of hunting for spinal across the globe - and it has a nice, glassy body that is 100% eye clean. (Just an FYI...ask about it if you are interested)
