This is one of the pink spinel raw stones that Li Xiu found last time. When it was offered to the Pink Nightmare, perhaps due to its small size and many impurities, the Pink Nightmare didn't consume it.
There were originally five of such pink spinel raw stones, with each raw stone being just over a carat. Once cut and polished, the remaining part would be less than a carat.
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw the pink spinel raw stone, but his face showed a somewhat troubled expression as he said, "Such a small raw stone; what gemstone is this raw stone of?"
"Spinel," Li Xiu replied.
Seeing that Li Xiu knew what this raw stone was, the old man continued, "Spinel is a good thing, but this raw stone is too small. After cutting and polishing, it might only be about 0.5 carats. It's not very suitable to trade for my topaz. Well, let me take a look first."
