Thank you, Freke, our resident blue/purple subject matter expert.

Freke, if I had your #, I would have just called you up.

I may or may not have a problem. :Up_to_something:

Hi, my name is Freke and I'm a lavender-aholic. I've been clean for....0 days.

Freke, I look at the lavender thread, and I was reminded that I mentioned starting a thread before...my memory is going.

I've added my own lavender spinel to the thread as penance.

My lavender spinel. Sorry for the hazy photo, it's in a ring box unset, and I couldn't focus it that well like I can on my hand. It's at the jeweler's being set.

The mint green tourmaline in the middle is surrounded by two lavender spinels. The one on the left is a very pale pastel lavender, and the one on the right is a very saturated pastel lavender which I'm still trying to find the right setting for. It has some inclusions, which are not visible to me, unless I look really really close. It shifts to a more periwinkle color in other lighting.

2.5 carat precision cut lavender spinel pear in a rose gold halo.

This one has some lilac undertones.

It has some inclusions, but they're not distracting to the naked eye.

Great idea for a thread! I love lavender stones but don't have a single one myself. Maybe its time to change that!
