Here I am being naughty again. Is this worth buying? There''s just too many beautiful and affordable pieces that are relatively decent at Gemwow.
Spinel Rose Carving
Stats:
Mogok Spinel Carving
9.92x12.42x2.66 Millimetres
3.36 Carats
Description:
The color is absolutely fine and there is a good clarity despite few fissures reaching the surface. Tiny crystals can also be seen through a microscope.
This is definitely a lovely piece with a delicate workmanship.
The fissures are partially healed and, on the back of the stone, there are some small chips. But I think this piece can be set as a pendant without problem.
Depending on how you look at the stone, the color varies from pinkish under transmitted light to slightly orangy red under reflected light. On the market, professionnals would describe this stone as a "flame spinel". On my opinion, the saturation is good and the tone slighty dark.
My primary concern is the slightly dark tone. Will that still be able to showcase the colour and carving?
