I am offering for auction from my personal collection an exceptionally beautiful and extremely rare blue spinel mined in the Bai Son deposits of the Vietnam’s Yen Bai province This Gem displays an incredible play of color, showing a glassy “neon” blue hue in direct sunlight/daylight very close to the legendary cobalt blue color, In shade it shifts to a deep indigo blue, while under artificial light it reveals bluish-violet tones. Excellent Clarity Grade (at least eye clean +) Cut & Polished to Perfection in Antwerpen / Belgium Video/s available upon request Pictures taken under different types of lighting and angles (indirect natural sunlight / daylight, shadow & artificial room light) Note : Although, as is well known, gemstones are not easy to photograph or to film, I personally prefer my gemstones to be far more beautiful in real life than in pictures (and not the other way around) . Therefore, what you see in the photos is what you will receive at the very least, although I am confident the gem will display even greater vitality and a more beautiful appearance in person than shown in the images.
