It's going to have that dark flash in the middle because of how shallow I needed it cut.

It's gorgeous! That colour is so good! The cut looks great, especially as you want a shallow gem. I think it will look super once it's set :kiss2:

Yayayayaya, talking to Bryce and he's cutting stone(s) for me as well. Hooray! Now can we find a reasonably priced piece of 'cobalt blue'???

Lol i was just FB messaging him...going to be hard to decide what cut(s)! Also trying to find out if anyone cuts melee locally....
 
In person, it looks a tad bit more seafoam-greenish than it does in the picture or video. It looks more like the earlier picture and video I posted.

Who is the seller and cutter of all these beautiful lab spinels SouthernGent? Is there a website?
 
Heads up! A couple of lab gems are available on Gene’s site! :wavey:

Hey y'all - those are directly from RusGems, the same guy we got our Paraiba YAG from. I corresponded with him a while back and he send me that color sample photo. You can find him on Etsy, Ebay, and directly (RusGems.com).

I was thinking 113-G would most likely be "cobalt" in color.
 
And here's another color chart from one of the Chinese manufacturers. The colors and numbers match pretty well to those from RusGems.

I think from that chart, 112 or 113 is what I want. Looking for this color like what @msop04 had.PT_blue_spinel_rough.jpg

gah I am so bad with color. I thought 113 looked more "glowy", but I literally have no idea.

I may or may not have bought this cushion cut lab pad from Precision Gems this afternoon, lol. Have to wait for a shipping notification.

3.96 ct, 8.44mm.

Usually 114 (at least from Djeva) is the really nice blue stuff.

Here's some discussion about the Djeva spinel. But it looks like you're likely going to have to find a cutter that already has some.

And for a color chart and close-ups of individual Djeva spinel, go here: http://www.interpacifichk.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=100_108_153
You may be able to order some from Interpacific. And I'm pretty sure that Djeva 120 is the color used by Doug Menadue of Bespoke Gems when he posted some a while back and referred to it as "cobalt"....if I recall correctly.
