Offering today this tiny pair of genuine Vietnamese cobalt blue spinels. They are just 2.4 mm each, but a beautiful blue color. They really are lovely which is why I've held onto them for awhile, despite no solid setting plans. I intended to use them for side stones or small studs, but just never got around to it. (If you wanted to make studs with a bit more presence, Yvonne's bezel style hexagon settings would be a great choice). Apologies on the price, but these are just expensive, even given the size - it's just what it is with this material. Last pic shows them in a gem case with some of my other tiny gems.

. Asking $199 shipped within the US.
Size: .11cts ?Measurements: 2.4mm ?Shape: Round ?Origin: Vietnam ?Color: Blue ?Treatment: None

Per Yvonne:
"I have been looking up and down for cobalt blue spinel (named after its neon color, not necessarily the cobalt content) and i just lucked out at the gem and mineral show in Massachusetts. These guys are tiny, .11 cts total weight and very expensive. The color is incredible though and they are super duper rare. The origin is Vietnam. They are brighter than sapphire, and I don't think I can get them again. These might make sidestones for a ring or mini earrings. One gem has an inclusion under the table but you can only see it with a loupe."

I ship within the US only (due to insurance issues with int'l shipping). PayPal only please. I'm katharath on PS, and I've had many successful transactions here, selling from my personal collection as my preferences change. Please ask all questions before buying - as I'm not a trade person, and I almost always discount my pre loved items rather a lot, the understanding is that sales will be final. I am happy to provide any further info that I can, upon request.
