    O.K., the replies are coming in now and I hear you about the
    windowing. That may very well be the case, darnit, and maybe I
    didn't want to accept it. It is bouncing a good bit of light back,
    sparkles, makes some little rainbow colors. I cannot read the printed
    word through the stone but I can tell that something is behind it. I
    think what I was seeing before I enlarged the opening was more like
    shadowing. I could see a visible difference between the open space
    and the gold backing that must have been bouncing some light back as
    well. Light that should not have been getting through. This is an
    oval peachy/pink natural spinel by the way.  I have just begun
    gemology classes, just read two chapters mentioning windowing. So
    here it sits upon my finger. It still looks very wearable all the
    same. Great color. But I won't forget this lesson. 

Thanks all-Carrie Nunes
