0.89 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

In the heart of Myanmar, nestled within the lush landscapes and under the watchful gaze of history, lies a gemstone of rare beauty, unassumed yet mesmerizing. This is a stunning 0.89 carat greyish blue spinel, shaped with an elegant oval silhouette, measuring precisely 6.15 x 5.16 x 3.86 mm. The birthplace of this particular jewel is as storied as its transformation; Myanmar is celebrated the world over for producing some of the most beautiful and vibrant gemstones known to humankind. As the sun ascends and descends over the verdant terrain, the prospectors sift through the earth, hoping to unearth treasures obscured by the soil's embrace. To hold a piece of this land, hewn from the very essence of the Earth, is to possess a fragment of botanical and geological poetry.

Men and women skilled in the art of gemology extract these vibrant stones from their earthen beds, each rough gem exhibiting the promise contained within its rugged exterior. Throughout the ages, the allure of spinels has competed with the renown of sapphires and rubies. Our Burmese spinel exhibits an ethereal greyish blue hue that evokes mystique and allure, irresistibly comparable to the renowned sapphires of Ceylon and the Kashmir sapphires revered for their depth and color. Yet, the distinct charm of the Burmese spinel lies in its unique hue, capturing whispers of twilight skies and serene waters, while still being uniquely its own. With intense color intensity, this gemstone stands effortlessly in distinguished company, embracing its identity while honoring the traditions etched in its origin without fading into anonymity.

Upon deeper inspection, the dichotomy between its clarity and its intense coloration reveals the craftsman's relentless dedication to magnificence. The spinel is meticulously polished to an exemplary finish, bringing to life its brilliance even more under varying lights. Cut into a mixed brilliant form, each angle and facet interact with light in harmonious interplay, capturing and reflecting luminous whispers that are seemingly whispered by a grace that is both mysterious and generous. Though very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, each blemish tells a subtle story of pressures endured over millennia. Meanwhile, its clarity becomes a testament to the master artisans who painstakingly lent their skill. Our piece showcases how every spinel carries the essence of the land, whispering stories untold, tightly held secrets of the earth's heart.
