I wanted to thank you, guys, for turning me onto this really neat effect (especially Cofor for awesome pictures)!!
I''ve never been a big fan of spinel - much less bought one (!) - but I think these inclusions give it a whole different feel. To me they are like horsetails in demantoid garnet, which turn a pretty but otherwise unremarkable stone into something unique and interesting! So, here is my first bubblicious spinel...though, I would like to propose we ''officially'' call it Champagne Spinel - to make it sound more dignified!!!
