This is one of my last remaining gems! It is a sparkle bomb, with perfect cutting and beautiful sparkle showing great dispersion.

Here are the specs:

-1.57 ct gray spinel w/blue and violet tones (depending on lighting; it is shifty and can appear almost metallic in some lighting vs showing more blue at other times; and in some indoor lighting I see a slight lavender shift).
-natural, untreated, precision cut by Peter Torraca
-custom rectangular cushion measuring 6.22 x 7.52 x 4.53 mm (@ 6.25 x 7.5); really a perfect cut to my eye
-very very clean (I can't see any inclusions at all)
-beautiful dispersion
-loose and never set, purchased directly by me from Peter
-it looks very much like Tanzanian material to me, but Peter believed it was from Sri Lanka
-I paid right at $900 for this gem ($928 shipped). Asking $475 OBO; it's worth it!!
-to my eye this is more of a medium gray, not super dark gray
- USPS priority insured shipping included in price; PayPal friends and family pymt is preferred, but not required :)

It is very hard to accurately get pics of the sparkle/dispersion, but a couple of my pics show some of it (pics 2 and 4). You could set this one E/W or N/S, either would look amazing, and I've shown pics from both views.

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.
