When compared to lab grown gemstones this natural Burmese spinel carries advantages that extend beyond the immediate visual appeal, lab grown stones offer consistency and lower cost, but they lack the unique growth history and trace element fingerprint that make a natural spinel irreplaceable, natural inclusions tell a story of time and pressure deep within the earth, subtle color zoning and the way light plays through natural crystal structure create an individuality that science cannot duplicate, furthermore natural stones from respected origins often retain or increase in value with time, making them both an emotional purchase and a considered investment.
