Comment: Classic Periwinkle hue in a Ceylon spinel. Photogenic and nice in person all the same. Like the flower a mild violet-blue with some purple not a pushy hue but tender and calm. Tiny inclusions only under the lens. No window, no belly, full upside face in a perfectly executed traditional hand-cut. 3*NOS plus, as all our gems, WLT rainforest buy-in and NrHP donation.
P.S. The unusual circumstances of this year, personal and in general, have so far hindered us from getting lab reports done, although I dare hope this will change by late May when I will visit Antwerp in person. The price here quoted is EXCLUDING our usual certificate. If you like to have a lab report for this garnet we need to add between $100 for an IGI report or up to $1,500 premium for a full AIG report. But it, too, would need a good deal extra time (currently over 12 weeks, sigh). That prices in this P.S. section differ is no lazy mistake but reflects the different pricing policies of the gem labs we use. Some calculate via weight, e.g. a 7 carat garnet is more expensive to test than a one carat, others labs go via pieces, when a small sapphire costs as much as a 10 carat gem.
