***ADDITIONAL DETAILS***

An exceptional spinel in every regard – from the rarely seen near-loupe clean clarity considering its Tanzanian origin, to the cold, crisp, metallic look of its brilliance, excellent cutting with amazing light return, and a whole range of colors it can exhibit.

The stone changes hues and tints quite a lot: it’s near-colorless with just a tinge of lavender in diffused daylight when fully lit, soft lavender or grey-periwinkle indoors during daytime, lavender-blue in fluorescent and lavender-mauve in incandescent light.

The light return on it is exceptionally good and it appears almost fully lit in all lights. On top of that, it also has fire and a crisp, clear, crystalline quality to its brilliance that’s quite rarely seen in spinels otherwise.

Zero black, zero brown, no undesirable undertones at all. Large enough for a ring or a pendant. The first studio image comes the closest overall to portraying it accurately.

***COLORS AND ACCURACY***

All of our images are extensively, carefully and thoroughly edited and color-matched to reflect the stones in normal diffused daylight viewing conditions by editing with the stone and the monitor side by side in daylight. Consequently, the colors in the photos are as close as they get to reality when viewed on a normal monitor with a generic RGB display calibration profile - this includes most mobile devices but if in doubt, please always check on a desktop/laptop.

If you'd like more photos or videos of anything, please by all means just e-mail anytime.

***SHIPPING***

Tracked and insured shipping is included in the price.

***PAYMENT***

PayPal preferred under $1,000. Over $1,000 a direct bank TT is preferable but PayPal is still an option if their fees are covered.

***RETURNS***

Returns are totally okay but please note that they come minus the insured shipping costs paid to send you the stones. A government-issued invoice signed and stamped by Customs, government valuer-gemmologists and postal agents for stones + shipping comes within every parcel with the exact breakdown of shipping and insurance costs paid on export. Most of the time those amount to $55-60 for sub $1k value stones.
