I have a setting that used to hold a 6.7x6.7 stone, I'd like to buy something at or near those dimensions to reset it. Open to a rectangular stone near those dimensions too.
@Dr_Diesel that stone is GORGEOUS!!!
@Dr_Diesel the stone is gorgeous! What are you looking for it? I need to do some research to see if the length will be a problem.
Goodness what a stone! I wouldn't mind the inclusions at all for that look!![]()
Hi @Dr_Diesel, if @mintbark passes on this lovely stone, I might be interested. Please keep me posted and thank you!
I wasn’t committed to selling it just yet so I have to look at what I paid for the stone, the certificate and all that.
Can I update you later today or tomorrow?
In the meantime, maybe that’ll give you a chance to check into the setting. It’s about 0.7 mm longer than the previous stone, so that might be an issue.
Meanwhile, here are some videos that may help you get a better feel for the stone.
It’s near perfect in every way, Even the quality of the crystal is exceptional. It’s a rare find, especially over the 2ct mark.
So it really comes down to how you feel about it not being perfectly clean. Some people are fine with it and other people are not. You just need to figure out where you sit on that issue.
I don’t know the origin and didn’t see the rough, so it’s possible. AIGS just said that it’s from Myanmar.OMG this is drop dead gorgeous!!! It has the same feathers and apatite inclusions as my 2 from Namya! Could it possibly be from the Namya mines as well?

@CBianco I do not see any sulfur inclusions, which seem to be the signature of Manin spinel, and the color is not typical for Mogok….so you may very well be onto something there!

I finally did the math. It works out to $5698.50 for the stone ($2675/ct)
@mintbark - Are you interested or no? You're first in line.
I also posted a red Vietnam spinel (flame spinel?) that's *might* work for you, but is probably too small (6.43x4.94x4.50mm).
It's not a Jedi, but shows nice strong fluorescence.

@ItsMainelyYou - just for fun, I photoshopped this one into your favorite GIA photo
