Recently, I acquired a valuable 1.2 ct Jedi Spinel from Mogok, Myanmar. Today, the market is flooded with counterfeit Jedi Spinel, and the easiest way to identify a genuine Jedi Spinel is to check for the presence of a dark domain and its intense luminescence.
Regrettably, this Jedi Spinel has a crack at the middle base, but it's rare to find a perfect Jedi Spinel, especially these unprocessed gems. In this world, nothing is perfect, especially when such a gem is going to be given as a gift to someone. To enhance the beauty of the beloved, we must accept her fragility and the nobility within this fragility.
Therefore, when we look at a gem, we should seek its imperfections rather than striving for a perfect gem that doesn't exist. Instead, we should look for a gem with as few defects as possible that we can accept.
After bringing this gem back, I plan to apply for a certificate. If the local authorities can provide a Jedi Spinel certification, then it should be relatively easy to obtain one domestically. Since the local standards are stricter, and with the reduced circulation of gems in the domestic market, it seems more likely to encounter some substandard Jedi Spinel certificates.
Hence, we should not underestimate the local appraisal institutions. Their professionalism and integrity may far exceed our expectations, and they are strictly constrained by local traditions.
In addition, I've also collected two more characterful mineral specimens of ruby and sapphire.
