Reading some of the other forum online the prices and desirability for Pink and top blue Spinels have been absolutely skyrocketing. I have cherry picked the best of what a mate has to do an expression of interest here. Please note that prices listed are what he gets when he sells the stone to his wholesaler so a great deal to be had if you are in the market for stones! Talking to a mate of mine he has some old stock stones that he cut a few years back (He is an exceptional faceter, who has been cutting here in Australia for 39 years. He is at the level where he no longer competes in faceting competition he Judges them) Now these are top quality Natural Spinels however I have not seen them yet but he has assured me they are all clean and fantastic colour. I told him I would see if there was any interest here as if there is I will have them pulled from his wholesaler and sent back to him, however he doesn't want to pull them all so if you are interested in purchasing one/some let me know and I will get them sent back to Brisbane where I can photograph them. Knowing his cutting they will have perfect meet points and exceptional polishing.
