The most beautiful spinel you ever saw

[T L]

Get ready for a bidding war on this one. Normally I don't usually post such things, but I couldn't help myself. It's "top blue" too!!

Yowza. How can you pass that up? Can't stop imagining it on my finger.....

Well, well...it does have amazing translucency.

 

[ooo~Shiney!]

I'm glad I clicked "enlarge" ~ and did you notice the crazy detail ???

 

[Indylady]

I thought you were serious! (before I clicked on the link)

 

[davi_el_mejor]

My treasure chest does need a new bay window.......

 

[Aoife]

This or the ruby necklace JewelFreak posted...hmmm. Decisions, decisions...

 

[LD]

Do you get free blinds with the bay window?

 

[cellentani]

I nearly spit my coffee at that one - what an epic fail!

It boggles the mind to think how Mother Earth produces such things without even trying.
OOO~shiny the detail in that enlarged view is obscene!

 

[mariedtiger]

Eeeeeewwww - but thanks for the laugh!

 

[Laila619]

Funny!

I'm glad I clicked "enlarge" ~ and did you notice the crazy detail ???

Let's be grateful for small blessings: at least the "Zoom" feature was unavailable!

 

[Treenbean]

Oh my!! I think if I win, I will have it bezel set.

 

[Liane]

Oof.

I do like how the cert lists Cut Grade and Finish/Polish as "Poor" and the seller just puts that out there. I had not seen a certified "poor" stone before and now I know what one looks like, so for the educational value alone I'm glad this exists.

I hear Santa is buying it to add to his lumps of coal collection...and will be giving it to any PSer who actually bids on the thing.

 

[ruffysdad]

Oooooo! Ssssstt! Ow! So hot I think I burned my fingey!

I was blinded as soon as the page loaded and left a puddle of drool on my keyboard from my jaw hanging open in disbelief.

 

[Arkteia]

Petrified soap?

 

[FrekeChild]

*GASP*

I'm so tempted to bid. Just for poops and giggles.

Too bad he watermarked that photo, I was tempted to swipe it for a new avatar.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

You certainly the best and the worst of auctions on PS - from the ruby necklace to this spinel. I know I have several dogs in my collection, but at least they wagged their tails and tried to look cute.

Now, I need to decide on which one to bid - don't any of you steal either from under me!

 

[VapidLapid]

If you look at his other items you will find a trove of jemz of equal quality. You just dont see jemz of this level every day, unless you own an aquarium. I think there are enough of these vivid gray spinels to make a riviere!

Thanks for the great laugh TL!!!

ETA: I can't believe there aren't any bids on it.

You guys crack me up! Thanks for the laugh, TL. I needed that!
