Yes, it was a lot of fun, but at the same time anxious. keep hunting on ebay and waiting for parcels . Searching for stone is really an exicting and torturing journey.

Thanks for your kind words

The light purple-blue spinel I don't know o keep or not...

Any thought on whether to keep this 2ct light purple spinel?

 

[Arkteia]

I'd keep it. Spinels are becoming more and more rare. Beautiful crop, OTL!

 

[chrono]

The pink spinels are HOT! The tsavorite is looking good too, as is the heart sapphire and tanzanite. I'm with you about the 2 spinels - it would depend on their sizes, price and indoor/outdoor colour.

 

[Kismet]

Whoa! That's quite the haul. I especially love that sapphire and the hot pink spinels.

 

[JewelFreak]

Oh my gosh! What hauls you have made; my eyes are just full of sparkles & colors! The pinks & tsavs are joyful, & yes, if I had scored it, I'd sure keep the pear blue-purple spinel. The other one is a little gray for me but it is important whether YOU love it. All of them are marvelous! You've been busy -- thanks for sharing your bundles. Do you have any plans for any of them yet?

Really pretty. Especially the pink spinels. Was the shopping good timing or is it for a special occasion?

Regarding the spinel you are unsure about, would you set it or keep it as part of a collection?

Thanks, but I do have better choice though, color wise, price wise.

The other dark spinel is really cheap. I bought it from jeff just to see if I can read his video correctly. Turns out I can't haha
But it is decent cut, very well quality for the price
I don't have any plans yet just started to collecting loose stones.

Not for special occasion, just starting to build my collection. So, no plans for these yet.
