[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 204783, member: 2976"] Black spinel certainly does make a very fine looking faceted stone. The fact it isn't transparent doesn't matter, I did a piece a while ago in checker cushion cut, didn't bother doing a pavilion as it can just sit down in a deep bezel. The stuff takes on a brilliant polish and looks particularly good in a blokes ring. Got a good hardness so it's pretty scratch resistant. I think more use should be made of it :) [/QUOTE]
