This particular purple spinel boasts a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning that inclusions are so minute that they are virtually undetectable to the untrained eye. This clarity facilitates optimal light reflection, allowing the spinel's natural brilliance to shine through unhindered. The mixed brilliant cut further enhances this effect, amplifying the sparkle and allure of this exquisite stone. It's important to note that the clarity grade speaks to the authenticity and pristine nature of the spinel, further elevating its desirability.
