the last two are under white LED light sources, which seem to jazz up these stones.

Thanks Harriet. How do you think it compares in color to your sugarloaf stone, more red or pink?

That is a really cool stone. It seems to go from orange red to pinkish red in various lighting. I bet it's drop dead gorgeous in it's setting (which I would like to see as well!

Hi

I'm not sure we've 'met.' I'm surprised that you know about my sugarloaf. My sugarloaf is more pink. I wish I had the LED lights to play with. My gem has no orange though.

That is some kind of beautiful spinel SS. Thank you for sharing the pictures as I have been a fan of these for quite awhile now. With that amazing glow and no extinction. Whats not to kile! I have a sense that these stones may go the way of Kashmire sapphires one day.

If you care to take a look at mine here is a link.

Oh Harriet... you and Tourmaline Lover are some of the most prolific posters here and "elsewhere" ;-) Your colored jewel adventures are always entertaining for me to read and now see pics of! As for your sugar loaf, I kind of wanted one just like it heheh. How do you plan on setting it?

I had a feeling you were from "the other place" . I'm trying to guess who!!

Oh CMW thanks for the compliment especially from a fellow Spinel addict. I have long admired your vast and unbelievably beautiful collection. I too feel that these stones will go the way of Kashmiri Sapphires since they seem to come from only one locality and for all my looking they have dried up from the market! Glad I got a few others before that happened

I could not agree more about getting these things before they dried up.

Thank you for the compliment about the collection.

SS I am curious. Does your sleepy spinel get a slight blueish moonstone effect in direct sunlight?
Also I seem to recall Multi-colour having a stone similar to yours. Believe you me I watched that stone for awhile until it sold. Might yours be that stone?

I did get this and 3 others from Multicolour. David W is great to work with. I got them right about the time the "big strike" occurred, two summers ago. Have you others in addition to your 7+ct beauty?

I am not sure I have encountered the "adularescence" effect in these stones... do you have a picture of that effect with your stone?

Thanks TL, I designed it with my jeweler and I sourced all the stones even the modified cushion cut sides... I think that if you look closely you can see that one of those babies has strong blue fluorescence, one of my most favored effects. Under long wave the spinel literally glows pink, though not as strongly as my Burmese hot pink stone.
