I would have put this in the SOTD thread but I can't share the link and the stone is not yet mine. Still, i had to share the photos. It's one of the finest I've ever seen. Don't you think?

8.09cts, VVS, Ceylon Blue Spinel. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous!!!!!

What a killer blue spinel Jason! That color is much more rare in spinel than in sapphire. Very little to no gray, and great size. You'll have to share some pics once you have it in-hand.

WOW!!!!!! When you get it can I buy it from you? That Gem is phenomenal!!!

Spinels are so under appreciated. I wish the consumer would realize what they are truly missing by not pursuing this fantastic gem. I spend most of my time searching for Spinels because I think they are the most beautiful/wearable gem on the market.

My wife has them on almost every finger of both hands, her neck, and her ears! And she loves them! :smt007

I believe Jason is buying it. Which is why he didn't share the link or price.
