This was originally going to be my ering stone, but I decided I wanted something a bit bigger (which arrived today and I will be posting pics of that too once I''ve resized them
)
In the meantime, I thought I''d post some pics of my first coloured gemstone purchase, this is what Dan Stair told me about it :
That spinel is a very pretty grape purple color that shifts toward pinkish purple under incandescent light. I cut it as an Asscher style square emerald. It doesn''t have quite as many rows of facets or the pavillion depth as what I''d call a full Asscher cut, but is close and very pretty. This stone weighs .94 carats, measures 5.37mm across from side to side and appears to be flawless under 10x magnification.
First, here is the vendor picture
