1.33 Ct. Pinkish Purple Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

This rare cushion shaped pinkish purple spinel, a transparent 1.33 carat treasure measuring 6.97 x 5.83 x 4.43 mm, arrives to discerning collectors with an air of exclusivity that only The Natural Gemstone Company can offer. Expertly faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation, this Burmese spinel from Burma, Myanmar displays an intense color intensity and an excellent polish that reveals its depth and fire with every turn. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, a mark many connoisseurs prefer as it attests to natural origin and character while remaining exceptionally clean to the naked eye. Unenhanced and wholly natural, this gem is a specimen for the specialist who values provenance, untouched beauty, and the assurance that comes from a gem that has not been treated.

Beyond its immediate visual appeal, this spinel is built for everyday elegance and enduring wear. With a robust hardness on the Mohs scale of around eight, superior toughness compared with many colored stones, and no enhancements that might compromise stability, this gem resists scratching and fading, making it ideal for daily rings, pendants, and bracelets. Its excellent polish and precise faceting preserve brilliance through normal wear, while the stone’s inherent stability to light and heat ensures long term retention of color. For routine care, simple cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth will maintain its luster, and professional settings that protect the girdle will further safeguard it from hard knocks. For collectors who appreciate warm color palettes alongside this cool pinkish purple, we also source exquisite Fire Opal specimens, celebrated for their vivid orange to red tones and luminous transparency, perfect as an accompanying accent or a contrasting focal point in bespoke designs. Ownership of this cushion spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company confers membership in a select circle of patrons who choose authenticity, rarity, and jewelry that is as wearable as it is remarkable.
