2.70 Ct. Pinkish Purple Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

This 2.70 carat cushion shape pinkish purple spinel measures 8.13 x 7.37 x 5.95 mm, and presents a precise faceted execution in a mixed brilliant cutting style that balances fire and color concentration. The cutter employed a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown to maximize scintillation, combined with steeper pavilion faceting to deepen and centralize the light pinkish purple hue. The pavilion depth is 5.95 mm relative to an average diameter of 7.75 mm, a proportion intentionally selected to intensify the light color intensity while maintaining excellent light return. Transparency is high, with clarity graded as very very slightly included at eye level, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not interrupt the stone s window of brilliance. The polish is excellent, with crisp facet junctions and uniform symmetry that produce sharp facet reflections and optimal facet contrast. This spinel is unheated and unenhanced, offering an authentic natural color and surface condition that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Origin Burma Myanmar contributes provenance and desirability, reflecting the historical reputation of Burmese material for pure, lively tones in the spinel family.

Owning this gemstone is an investment in both beauty and craftsmanship, the result of deliberate lapidary decisions that prioritize long term value. The mixed brilliant cut respects the isotropic optical character of spinel by delivering consistent color and sparkle from every viewing angle, while the deeper pavilion proportions serve to concentrate the light pinkish purple saturation in an otherwise light intensity stone. The lack of treatments enhances market value and future liquidity, because natural, untreated Burmese spinel with VVS eye level clarity and excellent polish occupies a sought after niche among collectors and jewelers. Practical considerations reinforce its suitability as an heirloom quality stone, spinel s robust hardness and durable crystal structure ensuring everyday wearability without compromising the visual depth achieved by the cutter. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind this gemstone s technical pedigree and provenance, and offers this stone as a refined example of lapidary skill paired with an authentic natural gem, a piece designed to deliver both immediate visual pleasure and enduring investment merit.
