Incredibly bright cut due to Richard Homer's exquisite talents and concave faceting these fantastically saturated Pink Spinels are real screamers.

Perfect for side stones, or for matching earrings, too beautiful to be broken up from the pair!

It is from a 52 kilo single crystal spinel found by a farmer tilling his fields in Tanzania.  For those of us who do not think in Kilos, that is over 114 pounds...

Of course this is just my opinion, super bargain for someone!

I have three stones that are MUCH worse in house with SI1-SI3 grades that a client wants to look at.  (Big and Cheap with EGL grades that are as much too loose as this is too tight)

Out of doors it displays a very light bluish tint as a result of strong blue fluorescence and from a pavilion view one can just barely distinguish some of the inclusions, but because they are transparent crystals, they actually appear as sparkly dots rather than black.

Sometimes I wish Paul from Infinity would use GIA, this would clearly be an SI2 with them.  I think this pictures is about 30 to 40 times.
