Just got back from a trip to Bangkok and Vietnam. My main purpose was to do research for the 2nd edition of my Secrets Of The Gem Trade as well as to acquire a few good spinels for clients.

I thought I'd share some of my photos: Three is the limit, I guess. Enjoy!

I understand that Vietnam is a current source for actual cobalt blue spinel and fabulous red spinel.
