3.83 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

The exquisite 3.83 carat Bellerophon certified pink spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company presents an exceptional combination of natural beauty and expert craftsmanship. This transparent gem, with its impressive dimensions of 11.33 x 8.08 x 5.55 mm, offers a captivating visual experience. Its oval shape contributes to a balanced symmetry, enhancing the display of internal color play and light reflection. Pink spinels of such quality are renowned for their rarity, color depth, and brilliance, making this gemstone a valuable addition to any discerning collection.

The mixed brilliant cut applied to the spinel is specifically designed to maximize the jewel's optical properties. This cutting technique involves a precise arrangement of facets across the gemstone's surface. By incorporating both traditional brilliant cutting on the crown and step cutting on the pavilion, the light captured from the gemstone's environment is intricately reflected and refracted within. This results in a remarkable brilliance and scintillation pattern that highlights the gemstone's vivid pink hue. The meticulous craftsmanship behind the mixed brilliant cut ensures the spinel displays its inherent properties of light reflection to their fullest potential.

Clarity in gemstones is a critical attribute that highlights internal purity and enhances light passage. This pink spinel carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. In practical terms, this indicates the presence of minute inclusions that are not visible without magnification. These negligible inclusions do not detract from the gemstone’s beauty, instead allowing the intense color to dominate the observer's attention. The consistent uniformity of the color, combined with such clarity, ensures that each facet can interact seamlessly with light, contributing to an impressive presentation.

The color intensity of this spinel is classified as intense under standard evaluation metrics, a testimony to its vibrant saturation and tone. Such quality in color is a distinctive feature of spinels originating from Burma, or modern-day Myanmar. Renowned for being the source of some of the world's finest gemstones, the Burmese origin adds to the spinel’s desirability and prestige. The pronounced pink tone not only captures but also reflects ambient light in a dynamic interplay of luster that few gemstones can rival. This inherent color intensity is further enhanced by the gemstone’s exceptional face-up appearance due to its superior cut and polish.

Finally, the gemstone’s excellent polish ensures a surface that is smooth and reflective, further augmenting its ability to interact with light. The polish process involves a meticulous effort to eliminate any surface irregularities, creating a pristine finish that amplifies the gemstone's overall luster. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we pride ourselves on providing exquisite gemstones that embody the pinnacle of beauty and quality. Collectors and connoisseurs alike will appreciate the rare combination of features present in this pink spinel, as it represents both nature's artistry and human craftsmanship in perfect harmony.
