Help! what do you think of this Burma Spinel?

[waiting_impatiently_2008]

I bought the legacy spinel from LOGR and have been hunting for a cushion ever since.
I am looking for something in the purples, blues, or a light colored yellow... and it's starting to make my head spin!
I can't afford to spend much more than $200
What does everyone think of this? http://www.mastercutgems.com/viewgem.ph ... 9&id=22259
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hard to tell... Doesn't look too good to me but then everyone here seems to think that Dana's photography skills are not good at all so it may be better in real life. I'd call Dana. Perhaps he can cut something out for you? I have just bought something from him and he comes across as a pretty nice guy. Definitely no hubris, not spoiled by his reputation.
And now the off-topic part...By the way just reading through his website is hilarious. He has the best sense of humor, I spent a pleasant evening browsing through the website once.

Too true, I love his website and I also find that he is a kind and
knowledgeable guy.

This spinel is actually 120.00- I'm just saying that I would like to keep the stone under 200.00 and have it be a cushion shape for a ring that I am planning. Does anyone have any other directions I could look in?

Seems like a very fair price for the color and cutting.
