    I've been looking high and low for some european red spinel...also
    known in medieval times as balas ruby.  All I can find on the net is
    very clear, facetted stones.  What I want is rough, or tumble
    polished stones that aren't completely clear and contain clear red,
    opaque red and minor black color inclusions in them. 

Thanks,
David Cowling
