An enchanting example of how attractive a good Sri Lankan greyish blue Spinel can be. A lot can go wrong with these, the tone is usually too dark, there is simply too much grey or it may be just that the cutting doesn’t show the material very well. This one works very very well - distinctly blue without being overdark and a sort of steely color given the greyish modifier; we always think this can look somewhat akin to blue diamonds in color. Great size and clean, we don’t see these with any regularity any more.
