3.07 Oval No Enhancement Vivid Red Burma Spinel

Description
A screaming "stoplight or pigeon blood" gem red spinel. The stone is 70% red and 25% orange or 95% red orange. This color combination is sought after by many connoisseurs , who consider this the ultimate color combination. The gemstone has no brown or grey. The stone has a perfect 75 tone, an open color that never blacks out. The stone has minor eye visual inclusions at MI1 clarity. The stone was cut slightly shallow and looks larger. The stone has 50-60% brilliancy. The gem has good cutting and finish numbers typical for a Burmese stone. If this stone was an unheated Classic Burma ruby it could sell for over $250,000 per carat wholesale. This gem is attractively priced at 4% of an unheated Classic Burma ruby. They traditionaly sell for 10%-20% of unheated Burma rubies, so this gem has a large upside potential. For the true spinel collector or client who wants the Burma ruby look for a fraction of the price.
