Comment: Red spinel for the most demanding buyer. Old Ceylon stock, from the times when Sri Lanka was still producing, or rather disclosing, new finds on a regular basis. Deep red with a bright purple as secondary hue, resulting in a berry color character. Precision cut, no inclusions, untreated, no window. With 80% depth this gem will need at least a size 6 ring and can fill size 10, with halo 12. Under strong light, red steps into the foreground with almost no more purple. No orange, no grey. Wave luster running smoothly along its axis. Clearly cushion, not oval. Never dark, always red. In a collection it can fill the top spot for red spinel. See more images for relative narrow bandwidth of colors in different light settings (natural daylight). No belly, but slender bell shape, which is to be watched in deep cuts. Hence almost 10x8mm under four carats.
