Bought a gem described as a cobalt spinel. Brought it to a professional gemmologist who told me the it is not a cobalt spinel, it does not contain cobalt.
After confronting gemfrance.com with this he tells me (after 2 weeks) that him describing the gem as a "cobalt spinel" does not imply that it contains cobalt. That is why he used asterixes. Very misleading to say the least. Pure fraud if you ask me. Gemmology is quite particular with attributes to names so selling a cobalt spinel without it actually containing cobalt is being totally dishonest.
