Mmmmm......Grape Jelly!

[Love in Bloom]

I posted pics of this before, but not specs.

2.15 carat cushion spinel from Rick Martin at Art Cut Gems. It is described as "a very slightly reddish-lavender cushion cut from the bejewelled land of Ceylon."

It's kind of sleepy but very sparkly:

Thanks Tourmaline_Lover! I bought it for the lovely cushion shape. It wasn't very expensive; do you really think it's rare?

I played with that stone for 4 months and realized the sparkle of it was jewelry worth. It''s set and I''m working on pics!
