Jedi Spinel vs Raspberry

Fascinating to see gems compared to a reference.

I find it more difficult to "judge" hue when a gem is all alone.
But in a well-selected comparison, like above, it's somehow 'easier' to 'understand' or get to know the hue.

Am I getting too hoohoo?

When evaluating gemstones based on gemstone pictures, reference objects and contrast objects are needed, because the angle of shooting of gemstones and the shooting environment have a great influence on the photos.

These stones look so delicious against the raspberry, and thank you for yet another masterclass!

All these red spinels together with the raspberry make them look so juicy, I'm drooling now

To me the pinkish-red jedi looks the yummiest, but do you have a personal favorite among them? I'm curious as you have such a great collection

Out of curiosity @landscape , do you always see gemstones in person before adding them to your collection, or do you also buy online?

And I'd be interested to know if you keep a 'wishlist' and/or will there ever be a 'finished' collection?

Please feel free to tell me if I'm being too nosy! Your passion and knowledge of CS is incredible and I'm just curious about your thought/curation process.

There are both physical store channels and online channels for purchase, and there are also some origin seller channels.
There is no wishlist, because I collect gem varieties, and when I encounter varieties that I don’t have（can be a photo）, I will decide to buy or give up in a short time,
