While most Ceylon cobalt-bearing blue spinels look more black than blue and are often way too greenish or dark, this stone is a very rare exception in that already rare category – it’s far more reminiscent of a sapphire than a spinel in daylight outdoors.
It has a lot of brilliance, and lights up very well for a spinel.
We had it recut from 3.14 carats in order to close a small window and improve its light return.

The only website where all gems get diligently color-matched and edited for accuracy until they reflect what the eye sees in diffused daylight outdoors.
Accurately represented in practical terms rather than abstract grading systems. When we say "eye clean", we really mean it as close up as the eyes can focus.
