2.52 Ct. Blue Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

This stunning transparent 2.52 carat oval blue spinel measures 9.59 x 6.97 x 4.71 mm, it is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return and scintillation, it has a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, an intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. Originating from Burma Myanmar, this gem has been heat treated in a stable, professional manner to enhance its natural hue, a common and accepted practice in fine gemstones. Compared to many blue stones on the market this spinel offers a rare combination of vivid color and high transparency, it delivers the visual impact of a sapphire without the often higher price, it resists the common cloudiness and color zoning seen in lower quality pieces, and its excellent polish and precision cutting provide crisp facet junctions and lively brilliance that will remain striking with wear.

When comparing value and longevity, this Burmese blue spinel stands out for several reasons. Its mixed brilliant cut optimizes fire and sparkle in a way that many simple step cuts and overly deep cuts do not, so the stone reads larger face up than many similarly weighted competitors. The very very slightly included clarity at eye level means the gem retains a clean, gemmy appearance under normal viewing conditions, which is an advantage over many market spinels that appear more included or muted. Heat treatment used here is stable and permanent, so the intense blue will not fade with light or heat during normal wear, making this gem an excellent choice for engagement rings or heirloom pieces that are meant to be enjoyed daily and passed down.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company, I can say that this blue spinel will continue to captivate over the years, its combination of color, clarity, and cut ensuring enduring appeal. Its durability and stable treatment make it a practical choice for frequent wear, while its Burmese origin and meticulous finishing add collectible value. If you seek a gemstone that competes with top tier blues in beauty and outperforms many in value and transparency, this 2.52 carat oval blue spinel is a superior choice that will retain its charm and allure for decades.
