2.89 Ct. Greyish Violet Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

There are stones that speak in whispers, and there are stones that arrive like a memory of twilight, subtle and unforgettable. This 2.89 carat oval shape greyish violet spinel carries that hush of dusk, a jewel that seems to hold the last ray of sunset and the first breath of night. At 9.59 x 7.90 x 5.78 mm it sits with a gracious presence, neither timid nor loud, its faceted, mixed brilliant cut designed to coax out a heart of scintillation that shivers under the light. The clarity is gently honest, graded as slightly included at eye level, a reminder that natural beauty is never perfection without history, and its intense color intensity is a rare song in violet and grey, refined and mysterious. The polish is excellent, so each facet remembers the touch of the lapidary and releases a soft, continuous fire. Heat treated to enhance its singular tone, and coming from the storied mines of Burma, Myanmar, this spinel carries provenance as deeply felt as its color, a lineage that will resonate in any high end collection.
