0.82 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

From the mineral rich hills of Tanzania to the bench of a master cutter, this pinkish purple spinel has a story that reveals itself one facet at a time, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this luminous treasure. Unearthed with care, the rough stone showed early promise in color and clarity, and it was selected for an asscher octagon transformation that would highlight its internal harmony. Cut to 0.82 carats and precisely fashioned to measurements of 4.92 by 4.86 by 3.41 mm, the gem displays a refined asscher cut that echoes vintage geometry while allowing modern brilliance to breathe. The medium color intensity gives the spinel a gentle, wearable pinkish purple tone that shifts with light and movement, the clarity grade reads very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, resulting in crisp faceting that returns light with cool, mirror like flashes. No enhancement was applied, so what you see is the natural expression of Tanzanian geology, a specimen whose purity and provenance we at The Natural Gemstone Company document and celebrate.

Beyond its beauty, this spinel offers durable performance for everyday jewelry, a quality that makes it an ideal choice for rings, pendants, and earrings that are worn with regularity. Spinel ranks high on the Mohs hardness scale, providing strong resistance to scratches and wear, and its stable crystal structure tolerates the knocks and motions of daily life better than many colored gems. The asscher cut not only communicates architectural elegance, it also shelters the pavilion and girdle in ways that enhance durability when set thoughtfully, and the excellent polish ensures long lasting sparkle with minimal cleaning. For peace of mind, we recommend secure settings such as a low profile bezel or a protective prong design for rings, simple maintenance with warm water and a soft brush, and occasional professional check ups to keep the mounting snug. This spinel is a rare, unenhanced, and wearable gem, perfect for someone who wants a meaningful piece that travels from sunrise to sunset with grace, and The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to guide you in making it a part of your everyday story.
