Description

Happy Birthday August people! The spinel is spotted and unusual in its uncut state, an organic shape suspended in time and space, capturing your attention and carrying you towards a new and exciting future. Look toward the good things, the love and excitement!

All the stones in this birth month series are uncut--not slick and shiny. Just my nod to the beauty and uniqueness that resides inside despite our imperfections

News from the American Gem Society: "We have a birthday present for those born in August: the spectacular spinel has been added to your month’s birthstone lineup! August now joins June and December as the only months represented by three gems. The original birthstone for August was Sardonyx, and then peridot was added, becoming August’s primary gem. Without further ado, let's welcome the spinel!"

For many years I've enjoyed using oceans, skies, stars and sun flares for interesting visual effects--creating depth and extended time, an intriguing yet peaceful feeling, and lots of captivating spiritual colors. I hope it makes you wonder what lies on the other side of that horizon….
