The facets of this particular cut are expertly arranged to maximize the interplay of light within the gem, resulting in an enchanting dance of glimmers and flashes that create an almost ethereal luminosity. As light enters this cobalt spinel, it is both refracted and reflected in a symphony of light that magnifies the stone's vivid color and emphasizes its unique tonal qualities. Such a cut not only showcases the gem's vibrant hue but also accentuates its depth, drawing the viewer into an internal world of stunning optical phenomena.

The clarity of our cobalt spinel, evaluated with a grade of very slightly included at eye level, further enhances its visual appeal. Even a highly trained eye would find it challenging to detect any inclusions without the aid of magnification, an attribute that speaks to the quality of this gemstone. Inclusions are naturally occurring and are often regarded as the fingerprint of Mother Nature herself but in this gem, they are barely there, rendering the spinel almost flawless when viewed from a normal perspective. Consequently, the transparency of the gemstone is practically unobstructed by such features enhancing both its brilliance and sparkle. This facet of clarity contributes greatly to its desirability and value ensuring that it is not just its striking visual properties but also its impressive genetic makeup that appeals to connoisseurs of fine gemstones.

When considering this cobalt spinel, one must acknowledge its origin in Vietnam, a location celebrated for producing gemstones with unparalleled vibrancy and versatility.
