3.01 Ct. Reddish Pink Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

From the first glint in the alluvial gravels of Burma, Myanmar, this spinel began a journey that ties the ancient earth to modern elegance, a story The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to tell. Burmese spinels carry a heritage that reaches back to royal treasuries and temple offerings, where their vivid hues were prized as talismans and symbols of fortune. For centuries spinel was mistaken for ruby by jewelers and monarchs, yet its character remained distinct, known for an inner fire and a clarity that speaks of deep geological time. This particular stone, a transparent reddish pink spinel weighing 3.01 carat, preserves that lineage, inviting the wearer to connect with a tradition of beauty that spans cultures and centuries.

Measuring 8.07 x 7.90 x 6.33 mm, the gem displays a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and it benefits from an excellent polish that allows each facet to breathe light. There has been no enhancement, so the color and clarity you see are wholly natural.
