The spinel and garnet where particularly interesting, I like the color of the garnet but not sure about the extinctions in it, as for the spinel well I always wanted a natural blue stone (untreated) but price was never in my favor, so I kinda didn't invest in the time to understand what I'm supposed to look for or even what a good price would be.

The zircon on the other hand is just so nice , never though I would buy something yellow but this is beautiful.

All are within my price range and and the size is perfect. I really dont have many (any) people to chat with about color gemstones

All of them are beautiful! I’m fortunate (and sad, it’s both) I don’t live in the US or I’ll be broke buying all the shinies I see on LT! If you had to choose one, I’d say the blue spinel as it’s rare to get one that isn’t very grey, and the purple shift is an added plus for me.

Why can't you get all of them? So there's less to tempt us?

That might be a good thought experiment. Imagine if 2 of the 3 sold and you're left with just 1 choice. Is there any 1 out of the 3 that'd make you particularly disappointed if you were to miss out on it?
