Selling a precision cut red spinel and a Mexican fire opal

[OTL]

Thought I'd start a thread for the stones I have listed on LT

It was my best and most intense red spinel. With very ideal slightly pinkish undertone. It never goes dark in any light. Doesn't go orangish or brownish at all under any light.

It's 1ct and precision cut into a unique shape. Always a bright red color. I'm hesitating whether to let it go because it's very rare to see and I have been holding on to it for years and always love it. There is one colorless inclusion at one corner but I usually don't see it or notice it. And it will be very easy to be covered by a prown.

Dimension 8.4x5x3.7mm, face up large for a 1ct spinel.

And the Mexican fire opal

Best mexical fire opal cabochon I've seen. 2.5ct all clean clarity. With vivid orange body color and intense firey color play.
Dimension 9.8x7x6.5.
Super bright orange, red, yellow and green color play that doesn't require a lot of light. Very neony stone. Last pic shows the body color indoor with no direct light.Others are taken under sunlight.

Thanks dk168!

The red spinel is reserved. And the fire opal with crazy color play is still available.

I also listed an unheated ruby certified by AIGS on LT

Here is the link to the unheated ruby, 1.46ct, AIGS full report with origin.
Stone is photo shy, it is much better than my photos.
Price is so low for an unheated 100% natural ruby, I couldn't find similar price anywhere for a long time.

Re: Selling a precision cut red spinel and a Mexican fire op

OTL I'm very interested in the violet spinel. Can I ask two questions please?

1. Do you ship to the UK;
and
2. Does the stone show some blue as well?

Hi LD

Sorry for replying you so late...It does show some blue as well, but it has been reserved. I will update with more information if it becomes available. Again, so sorry for the late response!

Re: Selling a precision cut red spinel and a Mexican fire op

Just an update the 3.27ct violet spinel is sold. Someone sent me an email using an icloud address about it after it is reserved but I couldn't reply that email. It bounced back. Seems like the icloud address can't receive my reply. Or the storage is full?

Now the mexican fire opal and the 1.47ct no heat ruby are still available. And some rings too.
