Ugly stone - there is something wrong with it !! I am sure !!!

It would be the best if you send it to me and I willcheck it for you - again and again - for a very long time...

Thanks, I'm sure there is

That is pretty much as amazeballs as it gets! Congratulations on your new beauty!

Thank you!

What a gorgeous red!! It looks amazing.

Thanks for the nice words

Yeah, gotta say, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. Not gonna happen. I'll enjoy your pictures instead.

I hope it will happen. Very soon!

You got your unicorn! Congrats. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.

I, too, would like to see it next to your mahenges.

OMG. First Ricezo's e-ring and now this? What a week

OTL, the spinel is spectacular!!! I may have to put a picture of it on my phone just so I can look at it over and over.

That colour is delicious! Can I eat it?

Thanks, I will keep that in mind, but pictures sometimes can't tell exactly what I see. I can say that after seeing this spinel for a while and suddenly all my mahenges loose saturation levels. If I used to think a stone as 5, now it's a 4.

It's too hard for a bite

OTL-- can you provide tips on how long it took to get your spinel AGL certified? Also did you send insured for full amount and also sent the package with signed delivery confirmation? I am looking for any tips if I send stones to be certified.

 

[wordie89]

Beautiful! Thats the color I thought rubiws would have. Can't wait to see the ring. Enjoy.

 

[mochiko42]

That is firecracker red.. Holy moly...that is perfect

I agree with Marlow, please send it to us to check it..

Will you set it or will you leave it loose for now?

 

[Cognition]

I sent several stones to AGL before. Sometimes I give full insurance sometimes don't, it just depends on how much I can risk at the moment...Usually take 2-3 weeks for a certificate. Holiday season will take you longer than that. Yes, item is sent with signature required. Be sure to check their website for detailed instructions.

Every time I visit your thread I am 'shocked' and amazed by the color. That red is out of this world

 

[Rosebloom]

I have visited this thread daily since you posted. Soooooo beautiful!

 

[digdeep]

The standard for red spinel is set, and you have the 'official' stone!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! A treasure to be sure........

 

[diamondringlover]

wow that is a stunning color

 

[Lovinggems]

Perfect.

 

[chrono]

Very pretty; reminds me of Doug's collection.

 

[minousbijoux]

Chrono, can you elaborate on who you are referring to when you say Doug?

 

[chrono]

I don't want to put his full real name here but he was a serious CS collector back then on PS. Can't remember his PS handle anymore.

 

[minousbijoux]

So why would you even mention it then? Just confusing...or am I missing something here?

Just a bit of a tribute to an old PSer's collection, that's all.
