Description

Gemstone: Spinel - 7.08 Cts.
Locality Unknown

Spinel material is popular for its rich coloration, nice saturation, and tone. These stones can have vibrant brilliance and luster. This example has all those characteristics in spades with a vivid, slightly purplish red hue and overall red bodycolor, an attractive pear shape, and mixed faceting. The crown has modified brilliant cuts, and the pavilion has step-cut faceting. The rich red hue visible is due to a high Chromium content, which also causes the stone to strongly fluoresce under ultraviolet light. The GIA report states there are no indications of heating. Additionally, this incredible stone is eye-clean, in excellent condition, and is accompanied by GIA Report #2151720704.
Measurements: 16.19 x 10.05 x 6.84 mm, 7.08 cts.

Provenance: The Edgehill Collection

Accompanied by GIA Report #2151720704
