Would do you think? I already have some lighter/pastel stones and spinels, and the darker color kind of peaks my interest...but I don''t know how much the inclusion or grey would bug me..hmm.
Honestly, I am not sure how I feel about it. I know the inclusion would bug me, and I am not a fan of gray in stones. But that is just my opinion. Sorry, not much on an enabler

If I remember correctly, most of your stones are warm in tone? This one is very ''cold'' looking. Is that something you think would suit you?
I don''t know really. I have a sapphire ring that''s cool in tone and I love it, so I could go either way.
I dunno what it is about this stone that catches my eye, but it brings to mind something shadowy and mystical. Hehe...maybe I''ve been around too many Harry Potter people,...
Some people like blue/grey spinels, but I''m not a fan of them. To each his own, but if you really want one, they''re all over ebay for super cheap prices.
Well I for one love the color! Gray is no problem at all for me. But I think the inclusions would bother me. Hard to say without seeing it in real life.
); the inclusion would surely bug me (assuming it's as noticable IRL) and about the color...I'd prefer any london blue topaz over this. If you want mystery get yourself a nice moonstone
Not to completely kick the poor spinel when it's down. But the culet looks COMPLETELY off side to me, and the whole pear looks a little au natural... crooked. Some extinction. Which in and of itself wouldn't disquality a stone for me if I loved the color, but you seem on the fence about the color then there is the inclusion. Honestly, it's kinda like well... the underdog stone. If it were inexpensive I'd just take pity on it and give it a home, just cause it's got so much personality. And the color doesn't bother me, I don't mind steel blue and even like it sometimes. But... you have a nice amount of colored stone jewelry as it is... would you set it, and if you did would you wear it?
I don't know. I'm kinda fond of it. Reminds me of Lopsie Fugs. But, GENUINELY more attractive (which admittedly wouldn't have been hard).
It appears blue gray but at least it isn’t overly dark like many blue spinels. The inclusions will be fairly obvious under natural lighting and will not be completely covered by the prongs of a setting.
