Description

Offering up this lovely blue spinel. I just bought it a couple of months ago for $260, but I really shouldn't have since I already own a similar but slightly larger one. I was going through a phase where I *needed* lots of blue spinels :). Offering it here at a loss, as I'm now hoping to move it. What I like about this gem is the pretty blue color, in a rarer round cut, over one carat - it's not too dark IMO, and it's not that shifty, maybe a little but I don't see too much. Reminds me of a little round blueberry. Very pretty with nice flashes of blue as well. Pics taken in sunlight. The last pic shows it upside down - I think the symmetry might look a little off in the pic, but I don't see that IRL - it's just the angle/pic/etc. It's not precision cut, but it is a well cut gem (I'm generally picky about that).

Specs:
- 1.10 carat blue spinel
- Portuguese cut
- 6.2 mm round
- nicely cut, no window (anything that resembles one in pics is either a reflection of light or a tilt window due to the pic angle - there is no true window).
- Tanzanian origin (sourced from Jaimeen at Prima - comes in the gem box with a retail price of $330 on it).
