Jedi Spinel Grading from AIGS lab

[arkieb1]

Material from Vietnam rarely and from Mahenge in Africa occasionally looks exactly the same as "Jedi" spinel. It's a cool term for a neon well saturated spinel specifically from Burma and that's about it.

And @Nick_G - that is probably not saturated or neon enough to be classified as a "Jedi" spinel.

We may think this way, Jedi are rare and Burma is famous for producing it. however, if we are able to find stone somewhere else with same quality, isn’t it rarer?

You are applying logic to an illogical factor

It is unfortunate that it can be abused/used to trick less educated people.

Same with Cobalt Spinel, Padparadscha….

Well at least AIGS is using a subset of red/pink spinels to denote “Jedi.”

This is the complete range of color for GRS calling a ruby “pigeon blood.” Lololololol!

J/k

Maybe they checked a larger amount of pidgeon…

Nah, it’s a joke. It seems every ruby coming out of the GRs lab these days is either vivid red or pigeon blood red.

Just like every milky diamond coming out of GIA has some jargon wording that some in the trade know but the wool is firmly over consumers eyes!
