Vietnamese Spinel
In taking a small scoop of the material, the average weight per piece
was 0.52grams. Those in the business have felt the color is good
and that there were some really fine colors present in the
parcel. 1-2ct gems may be faceted, but the average would probably
still be about 0.52cts based on the average weight as well as a 20%
yield.
We currently have blind pours of the material seen in the photos
below. Each parcel contains just over 20grams. We will
continue to sell 20 gram parcels until the spinel has been sold. The price for a 20
gram parcel is $150 - that includes shipping and PayPal fees.
Comments from a cutter regarding
two 20 grams parcels that he purchased:
"I got the spinel today. It
looks nice and should cut some nice stones...I like the pink color of
most of it and the blues look good too... I guess spinel rough doesn't
come in muchbigger pieces because all I have ever seen is small pieces
like I received from you. I like the material and will make good use of
it. Your price seems fair...Last night I went through the two spinel
parcels. There were more of the larger stones than I thought and some
really interesting colors. I like the light purple ones a lot. I
probably got 15 to 20 stones that will cut larger than 1 ct stones and
some as much as 2 cts. I set two aside to try soon. I'll try to get you
a pic of a finished stone when I get to cutting one."
