Hi all :)
I'm a new fan of gemstones so this is my first post on PS! I'm looking to get my first coloured stone... This greyish purple spinel from a local reseller caught my eye! It costs about $165 USD. Please see attached pics and the GIC certificate from Gemmological Institute of Columbo. I do not really know how to interpret the certificate... So any advice would be great! Also, should i request for more photos/videos? Thanks much guys.Capture+_2017-07-28-21-25-08.png Capture+_2017-07-28-21-25-51.png C360_2017-07-28-21-30-03-675.png C360_2017-07-28-21-30-50-706.png

I presume the pictures and vids will be posted soon?
 
It's pretty but the huge window is a deal breaker for me. Notice how it is so sparkly at the edges but dead in the middle? It's because of that window.

Ahh i see. I thought the blackness was due to the poor camera angle or something... Now i know :( thanks chrono!

Thanks MissyBeaucoup! I'm excited to be joining the club (hopefully soon)!
 
Unfortunately it'd be a pass for me too due to the huge window. :(
 
Yeah great color but the giant window is rather a passion killer.... :(sad
 
Lovely shade and price, but window way too huge. Welcome to PS!
 
Thanks for chipping in guys! I guess I will keep looking around. Let me know if you chance upon a better greyish purple spinel :)
 
For a 2ct spinel that's a very decent price! I agree with others regarding the window though.
 
good size but I agree, way too big of a window.
 
I agree with Bex that the mastercut stone has promise. I would definitely check it out if I were you.
