0.39 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

This radiant purple spinel from Tanzania is a rare invitation to join a select circle of collectors and connoisseurs who demand uncompromising quality and unmistakable presence. Weighing 0.39 carat, this stone exemplifies how true value in a gemstone is not measured only by size, but by the concentrated beauty and provenance that each carat embodies. Sourced from the storied deposits of Tanzania, and offered exclusively through The Natural Gemstone Company, this spinel arrives untreated, with no enhancement, a purity of origin that elevates its desirability and secures its place among boutique, museum caliber selections. The medium intense purple tone is balanced and refined, a hue that reads as both contemporary and timeless, and its transparency allows each facet to sing, producing a crisp, lively display of color and light that belies the modest carat weight and reveals instead a concentrated luxury that only the most carefully selected gems can offer.

Meticulously cut into a radiant shape to maximize optical performance, this spinel measures 4.69 x 3.76 x 2.39 mm, dimensions that translate into an elegant presence on the finger, in a pendant, or as the centerpiece of a bespoke piece. The radiant cut has been executed with precision to produce clean facet lines and a harmonious interplay of light, and the excellent polish ensures each facet gleams to the edges, intensifying brilliance and color saturation. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a degree of inclusion that is nearly invisible to the unaided eye and that serves to authenticate the natural character of the gem rather than detract from its beauty. At 0.39 carat the gem offers a particularly appealing ratio of weight to visual impact for spinel, a species known for its exceptional color density and durability, and this weight sits in a sweet spot for collectors who seek premium quality in a size that suits fine, refined jewelry.

Owning this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company is to possess a tangible piece of rarity, a natural treasure that will sit quietly and confidently at the center of your most personal creations. Because it is unenhanced, its color story is wholly natural, making it an ideal candidate for bespoke settings where the metalwork and design can be tailored to magnify its inherent attributes. Consider a custom solitaire setting to let the radiant cut command attention, or a delicate halo that frames the 0.39 carat stone and plays with contrast to make the purple appear even more intense. For collectors the piece is an intelligent addition to a curated portfolio, combining the virtues of provenance, natural state, and meticulous cutting, all of which are attributes that enhance long term desirability and rarity. Our images demonstrate scale on the hand to provide a realistic sense of presence, and our specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company are available to advise on custom mounting options, care instructions, and certification to ensure that your acquisition is as secure and satisfying as it is exceptional.
