1.61ct Grey/Smokey Violet Spinel emerald cut, 7.3 x 5.6mm

A very unusual coloured gem which the beauty of the large facets of the emerald cut helps to show the light violet tinge. Fortunately this is an extremely clean gem as most spinels have dangerous inclusions, with many treated to hide them, and as emerald cuts don’t hide inclusion well, I was pleasantly surprised when I found this beauty!

Clarity – Eye Clean, under 10x magnification 3 tiny tubes, just under the crown facets just off one corner of the table facet. No dangerous or insidious inclusion.
