looks great to my non-expert eyes

If only I had an extra $3K lying around

Which one? There are so many stones on that page.

The link goes to this one:

KK-02060 - 2.50ct red Spinel - Burma
8.07 x 7.51 x 5.36 mm
nice cut, eye clean
$2645 shipped

I would ask it if blacks out, and what color modifiers it has under different lights (fluorescent, outdoors, inside). It looks like it has a strong pink/purple modifier.

I like the high crown, but it has a maltese cross thing going on (like a double bow tie).

Thanks; my phone showed the entire page. Yes, it looks purplish and on the darker side. Unfortunately he does not have a video of it yet which can be more helpful.

There's a video under the comments (probably tiny on a phone) and it shows the same attributes.

Thanks for the heads up; yes, it looks like it could show more extinction at times but I appreciate his not flooding the spinel with light.
