This remarkable gem, hailing from the renowned mines of Tanzania, is a superb representation of nature's artistry and will undoubtedly be a prized possession for any discerning collector or connoisseur.

Spinels are renowned for their rich history and vibrant hues, and this particular piece is no exception. With dimensions measuring 9.21 x 8.99 x 4.82 mm and a mixed brilliant cut, this spinel showcases a medium intense color intensity that ranges from delicate pink to a luscious red, ensuring it stands out in any jewelry setting. The excellent polish on this gem enhances its natural luster, allowing it to shine brilliantly under different lighting conditions. Evaluated at eye level, this spinel has an "included" clarity grade, which adds to its character by providing a genuine connection to the earth from which it was formed. Such inclusions do not detract from the gem's overall appeal but instead emphasize its natural origins and authenticity.

One of the key factors in determining the desirability and value of a gemstone is its durability. Our reddish pink spinel scores an impressive 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, highlighting its resistance to scratching and everyday wear. This ensures that it is not only a captivating display piece but also a practical choice for various types of jewelry that are designed to be worn frequently. Its robustness, combined with its visual allure, confirms that this spinel is an investment in both elegance and enduring quality.

In addition to its natural beauty and structural integrity, our spinel has undergone a heat treatment process. This enhancement technique is commonly employed to improve the gemstone's color and overall aesthetic appeal. It is a testament to our commitment at The Natural Gemstone Company to deliver gemstones of the highest possible quality while remaining transparent about the enhancements utilized. By choosing a stone that has been treated in this manner, you ensure that your spinel possesses exceptional color vibrancy and meets rigorous industry standards.

The origin of this spinel is particularly noteworthy. Sourced from Tanzania, a location revered for producing some of the most sought-after gemstones in the world, this piece speaks volumes about the skilled craftsmanship and exceptional natural resources of the region. The Tanzanian mines are celebrated globally for their responsible mining practices and commitment to preserving the environment, making this spinel as ethical as it is beautiful. When acquiring a gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, you are assured not only of its quality but also of the integrity of its origins, enhancing its value for the knowledgeable buyer.
