I bought a spinel from Dana that was listed as grey-pink from SE Asia a while ago. I see the unusual pink-orange color he described under fluorescent and incandescent light and a dominant lavender-blue in direct and indirect sunlight. So here's the question..........I assumed I would see more grey/dilution and the blue/purple was not mentioned at all. I think the colors that I see are variations of a blue to pink color change with a tint of orange on the pink side. Anyone else see this in their spinels? I know they can shift/change all over the place........but I'm not seeing the grey in any light source unless lavender is considered grey because it is no longer a blue or purple stone? Is that possible? Devil's in the details...... I do not have photo's of this lil' monster.
