Introducing my first mahenge spinel.....

[RockHugger]

.7cts, from VVS1Gems (Tan). It is more pink then red (I like). This stone has INTENSE neon pink flour!!!! Im talking blinding pink. I am sad because it is cloudy out so I cannot see what it looks like in the sun. It is suppost to clear up later, so I will have to take/post some sun pics ASAP.

Without anymore delay....my pretty pink heart!! Photo taken by the window with a tiny tiny amount of diffused sunlight.

Had 2 min of sun!!! By the window, diffused sunlight. Showing some of its flour and sparkle! Couldnt get my new camera to take good sun photos. They all came out white.

What a lovely color!

Would you mind sharing the original eBay posting - I would like to see how vendor picture compares to yours since I just bought my Mahenge spinel from the same seller.

Thanks.

Here you go. Looks like a very hot pink and one of your nicest purchase, apart from those dreamy Hauynes.

Sweet!

 

[RockHugger]

Thanks chrono! I like it alot. In darker light it turns into a more fuscia hot pink. It''s really neat!

 

[RockHugger]

Check out this flour!!! It is more HOT pink then red in real life.

Lovely colour RH. It looks like the vendors pics are very true to how the stone actually is.

 

[RockHugger]

One more! Outside picture in direct sunlight. Its on a morning glory leaf. Check out that pink glow!

Very pretty RH. All of my mahenge spinels from Tan have intense pink fluor, and it makes them really glow outdoors too. Congrats, I like your photos better than Tan''s, and you''re becoming quite the photographer!!

 

[RockHugger]

Thanks . Photographing my gems has kinda become a little hobby. I have gotten 5 or 6 stones from Tan, and they always look better in person then his photo!

I love the heart-shaped leaf with the heart-shaped stone. Beautiful!

 

[iLander]

That is a GREAT stone. You got a wonderful deal and a pretty stone. Real great quality.

 

[marcy]

[Zzz]

[Arkteia]

What is its weight?

 

[Lovinggems]

Pretty spinel!

 

[Laila619]

Oh, how lovely! I really like the heart shape too!

 

[Upgradable]

Do you have a plan for mounting it?

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Love the colour! I can totally see it in a pendant.

Coincidentally, I just got my Mahenge from Tan last night - and while I have no pics of it yet - WOW!
