Green Spinel? Tell me about it!

Thanks for posting those. The top row looks closer to the colour of the vintage necklace I linked from etsy

Yes, that’s the natural green I’m talking about. If you see this paraiba or aqua colored green, it’s synthetic,

That makes sense as both those colours are sought after colours. The dealer for this pendant is describing it has dark green but definitely not pure green, it has a teal/ blue undertone. He also said it’s a natural spinel and if it comes back via lab grading as synthetic he will accept a return at any point. There’s also a 30 day return policy as well, so I went ahead and purchased it and will post pics when it arrives.

I hope everyone continues to discuss, even though I don’t post often I enjoy the educational banter and conversations on topics like this.
