The stone reminds me of reddish Amethyst from the Four Peaks area in Arizona, but has all the superior optical properties & hardness of Spinel. Very, very, little gray in this stone, which is rare for this color Spinel. Medium dark in tone, but a light medium dark. Closer to medium tone than dark tone. Nice red & purple flash in many lighting situations. Holds its color well in all lights.

A gem.
