2.65 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

Imagine the moment when someone opens a small box and their face lights up with a joy that takes your breath away. This is the gift that waits inside our presentation when you choose this beautiful transparent purple spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company, a stone that speaks of thoughtfulness, elegance, and a memory that will be carried for a lifetime. We present a 2.65 carat cushion shape spinel, with precise dimensions of 8.29 x 8.26 x 5.24 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and fire. Its color is intense, a deep, regal purple that catches the eye from every angle, its polish is excellent, and its clarity is described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem appears clean and brilliant to the naked eye, yet retains its natural character. This spinel originates from Burma Myanmar, a source celebrated for producing some of the world most desirable gems, and it has been gently heat treated to enhance its innate beauty while preserving its natural charm.

As a gemstone specialist I can tell you how rare it is to encounter a purple spinel with such vibrant saturation and a cushion silhouette that flatters so many jewelry designs. The mixed brilliant cut balances classic elegance with modern sparkle, sending flashes of violet and lavender across the surface with every movement. Imagine this stone set into a ring, the center of attention on a proposal night, the halo of small diamonds elevating its hue, or imagine it nesting in a pendant that rests near the heart, turning an ordinary day into a constant reminder of love. The transparent nature of this spinel allows light to travel through it, creating depth and life in the color, and the excellent polish ensures each facet returns light smoothly and boldly. Because it is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level you get a gem that is honest and natural, with character that makes it truly one of a kind, a perfect choice for someone who treasures authenticity as much as beauty.

Choosing this Burmese purple spinel as a gift is not simply buying a jewel, it is crafting a moment and a story. From anniversaries that celebrate years of shared laughter, to milestone birthdays, to a promise sealed with intention, this gem carries emotion with dignity and brilliance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in presenting gemstones that arrive ready to be set into heirloom pieces, and we are here to help with suggestions for settings that will best showcase this cushion shape. A classic four prong or a soft bezel will protect its crown while showing off the mixed brilliant facets, and a warm metal like rose gold will bring out the purple warmth, whereas white gold or platinum will emphasize its crystalline sparkle. Care is simple, a gentle warm soapy bath and a soft brush will keep the polish bright, and avoiding harsh chemicals will preserve the heat treated enhancement that intensifies its color. Let this spinel be the heart of a story you give, a striking, soulful present that will be treasured now and passed down as a keepsake of a love remembered.
