Is it just me or these pictures are a little oversaturated? The stones look amazing but I struggle to believe these colors are not a little enhanced

It is certain that there is such a beautifully colored spinel. Perhaps more spinels of different tones are put together to illustrate the problem.
The spinel on the right are common color spinel, and on the left with bright and rich color

What a nice collection you have! But how do you make such pictures? I always struggle to capture the true color on camera

Under the natural light of the indoor window, choose a suitable shooting angle according to the content you need to express. It’s best not to use black or white for the background. It’s best to use a neutral color, such as gray, light yellow, light brown, etc. Otherwise, the color will have obvious deviation

That first red one in the original post is astonishing. It's the same sort of glowing stoplight red of the famed "Jedi" spinels from Namya and Mansin in Myanmar.

The first mahenge is beautiful (of course!) Silky or just picture artifact? My red has silk, much more glowy than sparkly (I like it though considering what I paid was a steal!!)
