2.22 Ct. Grey Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

This transparent 2.22 carat oval grey spinel from Burma, Myanmar, is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company as a finely proportioned collector grade stone, with dimensions of 8.24 by 6.89 by 4.97 mm, a faceted mixed brilliant cutting style, and an excellent polish that maximizes surface luster. The mixed brilliant cut combines the scintillation of a brilliant pavilion with the elegance of step or modified facets on the crown, which in this specimen preserves an intense grey color intensity while allowing lively light return. Clarity is graded included at eye level, which is common for natural spinels and does not significantly detract from visual appeal in this weight class, because the inclusions are well accommodated by the cutter and do not impede the gem s overall transparency. Importantly there is no enhancement, so the color and clarity are natural attributes directly attributable to its Burmese origin.

The 2.22 carat weight is a defining factor in this spinel s value and rarity, because spinel pricing typically increases at and above important weight thresholds, and stones over two carats from classic localities such as Burma are sought after by connoisseurs. Weight influences not only price per carat but also the stone s presence in finished jewelry, making this gem particularly desirable for solitary settings where size and graceful proportions matter. From a technical perspective, the dimensions and mixed brilliant faceting yield an optimal spread for the carat weight, creating a visually larger face up appearance than a deeper cut of the same weight. For the informed buyer, the combination of natural origin, no enhancement, intense color intensity, and excellent polish provides predictability in long term value, while the included clarity grade offers evidence of authenticity and natural formation. Whether held for investment, set in bespoke jewelry, or kept as part of a curated collection, this 2.22 carat Burmese grey spinel offers a compelling balance of rarity, technical quality, and aesthetic restraint, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to provide full documentation and consultation to ensure the stone meets exacting expectations.
