Cobalt Spinel 2.181ct

5.87×8.85×4.76mm

Made in Vietnam

Capsule Fancy Oval

Piacchan's work

Sorting ( simple identification certificate ) included

It is permitted to contain iron and cobalt.

This piece is made of Vietnamese cobalt spinel with a light, deep violet base color and blue and violet sparkles, and is finished in a capsule shape with a finely outlined outline.

At first glance it appears to be an ordinary, beautiful crystal, but inside it there are inclusions that appear to be hegboehmite, with thin needles overlapping in lines running in all directions. Depending on the angle they sparkle with a slight rainbow color, and when light hits them they stand out overall.

The color comes from iron and cobalt, so the ratio of violet and blue changes depending on the time of day and light source, and the violet-purple becomes more pronounced when exposed to filament light.

Please enjoy this masterpiece that combines the impressive weight of over 2 carats with the charm of iron-cobalt and interesting inclusions.
