This stone has a special look to it. Extra luster for sure! Nice depth of cut for superior internal reflection. Looking with a 15x led loupe I see few small inclusions that are not visible to the unaided eye. The color is lavender pink purple. It goes slightly less purple outdoors and more blue purple but not a strong change like some stones I have offered up. Very pretty sparkly stone. This one is offered up a little lower than most for someone to catch a great deal on a superior looking spinel with superior flash.
Sri Lankan spinel gemstone. I try to price my stones below other sellers and try to make sure all customers are getting a true gemstone at a bargain price. There is an article on this site about blue spinel titled “The rarest of them all”. It is located in the learn section under Additional Gemstone Information. Spinel is rarely treated or heated as it naturally comes without many inclusions and heating does nothing to increase the beauty of the stones. Spinel is rapidly becoming more popular. I’ve heard many gem affectionados state it was their favourite gemstone. It was once thought to be sapphire or ruby depending upon the color. The imperial crown housed in the tower of London has a large red spinel which was once thought to be a red ruby. It is named the Black Prince’s Ruby and has a recorded history dating back to 1366 AD. Cobalt is the main colorant in blue spinels and are especially rare. For me I prefer them over sapphires. The better price, less inclusions and lower cost make it the better value. It is also a hardness of 8 which is only slightly under sapphire so is good for everyday wearing.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
