1.62 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

This 1.62 carat oval pink spinel from Tanzania, measuring 8.02 x 6.41 x 4.56 mm, presents a compelling alternative to more common pink gemstones on the market. Cut in a mixed brilliant style and finished with an excellent polish, its transparency and medium intense pink color deliver lively fire and scintillation while maintaining a soft, wearable tone. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, the stone reads as essentially eye-clean, giving a clear, bright appearance without the visual distractions often seen in lower grade material. Unlike many pink sapphires or heat-treated stones, this spinel is natural and shows no enhancement, which appeals to collectors who prioritize authenticity and long-term value. Compared with lab-grown or heavily treated stones, this spinel offers unique internal character and naturally occurring color that cannot be replicated by treatment processes, while also being more affordable and rarer than many comparable-sized untreated pink sapphires. For jewelry designers and buyers seeking a focal gem that balances brilliance, durability, and individuality, spinel sits comfortably between the hardness and toughness of sapphire and the vibrant rarity of ruby, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear or an elegant statement piece.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize ethical sourcing and transparency, ensuring that this Tanzanian spinel comes from supply chains committed to responsible practices. We work with partners who support traceability, fair compensation for miners, and minimized environmental impact, allowing conscious consumers to add a meaningful gemstone to their collection with confidence. Choosing this untreated pink spinel means selecting a gem that not only stands out for its natural beauty and excellent cut quality, but also aligns with sustainable and ethical values. Its size and eye-clean clarity make it an ideal center stone for a ring, pendant, or custom piece, and its untreated status preserves resale and heirloom value, unlike many enhanced alternatives. For those building a mindful gemstone collection, this Tanzanian pink spinel represents a superior blend of aesthetics, authenticity, and ethical sourcing, a thoughtful purchase that reflects both refined taste and responsible stewardship.
