In a market where all blue Spinel has become ‘cobalt,’ many have lost sight of the fact that fine Sri Lankan blue Spinel does exist and is, one its own, quite lovely. Quite honestly we have no idea if there is enough Cobalt here to qualify - what we do know is the color is better in our opinion than many of the new Tanzanian stones now being mined. Certainly a bit dark and a bit of denim blue in-hand, but the cutting is great and the stone is entirely clean. An excellent alternative and, frankly, a more reasonable one. Lovely.
