The story of this rare vibrant pinkish-red stone gracing the cover of Terra Spinel Book began 17 years ago in the Pamir Mountains, where it was found at the legendary Kuh-i-Lal mine - home to the world's most celebrated royal jewels, from the great Mughals to the Maharajas, the magnificent red spinels and diamonds sparkling in the center of the Crown Jewels in the largest kingdoms until now. The original crystal polished out of the 160-carat rough was a masterpiece in itself, a belated young brother of the Black Prince's Ruby from the British Crown.
But a born cutter simply cannot help cutting. He can sit still for a long while, cherishing the rough as it is... but at a certain point he will not resist to unveil the soul of the gem, to let it flicker with all its facets, revealing its maximum color, brilliance and life.
A treasure unparalleled in the contemporary human history, kept sacred and untouched for 15 years, is finally to be transformed into a sensational faceted gem... right in front of your eyes!

MAGNIFICENT NATURAL RED SPINEL 35.55 cts
Natural Red Spinel Crystal acquired in Kuh-i-Lal mine (Badakhshan, Pamir mountains) 15 years ago
The Gem from the cover of Terra Spinel book
We hope to make 50 cts emerald shape gem
Placing the table, locating the big facets
260 diamond wheel, water, let's get started!
Now we are coming to the outlines of emerald cut
We can clearly see an imperfection, let's try to get rid of it
We want our future Gemstone to be perfectly clean
Now can see the bottom, four major sides
Really beautiful stone, good color
I love this job!
It's exciting, risky, but always based on good luck
Still need to add more corners, make an elongated shape
Now we are placing the table and reaching the final step of preforming (preshaping)
Our gem polisher will do the final polishing
Superb Red Spinel!
Over 30 carats precious stone
Very happy with the result
It was a good day! Thank you!

I have been following you silently for years, since I purchased a 4+ct cushion Ceylon sapphire from you at the Tucson show in 2004. You have now made me love spinel. Your books and videos are pure love of what nature has given us freely. I so enjoy following along.
Thank you🙏😊
Spinel is so beautiful and underrated. It’s one of my favorites.
You are an artist Vladislav you are a magician i love you amazing job the results its no word......💯✔👌💎💍
Thank you Steven!
Very exciting, thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
I love you and your work keep doing.
Это настоящее искусство! Сильное впечатление! 🤗 Скажите, Владислав, а нельзя ли было срезать небольшие кусочки до огранки, которые всё равно ушли в пыль и огранить из них несколько мелких камушков? Или так не делают на практике?
Fantastic Job!!!
Thank you!
So beautiful
Beautiful work.
Thank you 🙏
Pure Talent ... ❤️❤️👍
Nice youtube advert music in the background.
Where can I find a good gemstone cutter, I live in orlando, fl
I know it is standard yield for cutting gemstone. But if I were him, I would have a heart ache to preform it and lose 60-70 cts ...
Darwin Sujaya We all had a heart ache indeed :)
truly a sight to behold,majestic one...and oh,by the way,is that a cobalt blue spinel and tsavorite garnet on your rings? 😍😍😍
Thanks 😊
Superbe .tks so much for share
🙏👍🏻
Just curious, what are the 2 stones you wearing, 1 green and 1 purple bluish ?
Green Tsavorite from Tanzania and blue sapphire probably Madagascar or Sri Lanka. Pretty sure...
HELLO, MY RED SPINEL IS REALLY RED. YOURS HAS A SLIGHT PINKISH LOOK??
Do you buy rubies
Very gorgeous Spinel Nice Cutting If it would b cut in Cushion Shape there will Be more Fire And more Desirable. Anyway Spinel in this size and color is remarkable.
😊🙏🏻
You could get a gemstone polishing machine
Good idea
Are spinels expensive?
Charles winsdor. Spinels are rare, beautiful and even priceless sometimes :)
I guess this would cost more than a 100,000 USD
4 c's determine value + overall impact of course.
Real spinels are. Blue spinels are the rarest and very expensive: ilovecolours.org/all-the-beautiful-colours-of-august/
You know the only reason i came was because of the steven universe movie becase the bad guys name is spinal # steven universe
Same
lol
#stevenuniverse
But I think you make the stone so small if this stone I will make than it can be 80ct+stone
Or not less than 50 ct
When you get the same rough please try to get a larger stone, we'd love to see your result :)
I just came here for Steven Universe
👍🏻
I really feel like that 110 carat Spinel should not have been cut. It was beautiful the way it was. Some stones, you just don't cut, out of respect for mother nature.
Just increased its value.
I would agree if it was stuck in some host rock.. but a perfect gem like that is asking to be cut.
110ct water big wastage has done by you. You should cut from my professional gem Carter not by you. When I see your hand the style of cutting is so bad and sorry to say this but please don't do this for a big stones. Because these are millions of millions old stone so it is so riot get a big stone so try to cut from a professional gem cutter and tried to make a big stone without just cutting so everybody can cut but professionals are professionals
