Stone 1;
Stunning Mid Grey 2.05 Antique Pear cut untreated spinel. Nice unusual cut with no chips or other issues. It colour changes from a light/mid grey to a darker grey indoors (Photos 1 & 2). Outside in very strong sunlight this stone is something else it has really pretty light blue flashes which I have attempted to capture in the last photo (Photo 5). It is a mid grey/blue flash outside or in strong lighting and the cut is very similar to something from modern cutter Jean-Noel Soni from Top Notch Faceting because it has, I think, an intentional window down the centre you only see in very good lighting or in strong sunlight outdoors, and the cut of it also resembles a high end Antique diamond with a specific Antique cut I have seen at a high end Antique jeweller.
I had intended to make a Titanic style 3 stone out of it, but never got around to doing so. It would look great in a 3 stone, a bezel, with prongs, in a ring or pendant, set it pretty any way you want. The stone is a nice size of 9.06 x 6.46 x 5.00mms. Grey spinels this size with an unusual cut are generally approx. 3 to 4 times the price, Asking $175.00USD. $25.00 for registered trackable shipping.
