I''ve included this picture for its drama. I was peacefully taking pics of my stone when our 2 year old appeared and snatched the flower from my hand. The stone rolled off of my palm and HIT THE FLOOR! I don''t own a loop so I can''t tell if there''s any damage but it looks fine with the naked eye.

Nice spinel, seems to have very minimal grayishness, does it color shift to blue? Not to mention the nice size too! I think the spinel should be okay as they are really pretty hardy! I think that it will be great to get a 10x jeweler loupe though I love looking thru the loupe at my free time! Its nice to see those natural fingerprints in the stone!
