2.43 Ct. Red Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

This cushion shaped, transparent red spinel weighs 2.43 carats and measures 8.87 by 7.03 by 5.02 millimeters, presenting a compact and wearable profile for fine jewelry. The stone is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that combines pavilion and crown faceting to maximize scintillation and overall light performance, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and strong return of light. The color intensity is classified as intense, a key determinant of value in red spinel, and the tone and saturation are balanced to deliver vivid, pure red presence without being overly dark. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which indicates that inclusions are minimal, not disruptive to visual appeal, and typically only detectable under magnification or upon very close inspection. This spinel has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves color uniformity and makes the gem more marketable without compromising structural integrity. With a Mohs hardness of 8, spinel is durable enough for everyday wear, and combined with the precise cutting and excellent polish, this gem is ideally suited for rings, pendants, or bespoke settings.
