4.48 Ct. Spinel from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite 4.48 carat cushion shape purple spinel measures 10.49 x 8.26 x 6.18 mm, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we present it as a superior choice for buyers who seek rarity, craftsmanship, and honest value. Compared with many commercial purple gems on the market, this spinel offers a medium intense color intensity that is naturally vivid without appearing overdone, a mixed brilliant cut that delivers lively light return and scintillation, and an excellent polish that sharpens each facet face for maximum brilliance. Origin Burma, Myanmar, a source respected for top tier spinels, gives this stone provenance that discerning collectors notice, and the heat treated enhancement is a widely accepted process that stabilizes and refines color while being fully disclosed. Against comparable sapphires and tourmalines of similar hue, this Burmese spinel stands out for its combination of clean transparency, robust color, and the unique optical character the mixed brilliant cut produces, offering exceptional presence in a ring or pendant without the premium markup often seen with more commonly marketed gemstones.

The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and those natural inclusions are not flaws to hide, but fingerprints of origin that make this gem an individual specimen. Subtle pinpoint crystals and delicate growth related veils are typical of spinel, and in this stone they sit invisibly to a naked glance yet reveal themselves under magnification, providing a natural signature that gemologists and collectors appreciate. These inclusions add character and confirm natural origin, they influence none of the gem's overall sparkle, and they make each spinel uniquely identifiable, unlike lab grown or heavily treated stones which can be unnervingly uniform. For clients comparing market options, this spinel offers a rare balance of eye clean appeal, measured natural identifiers, and excellent cutting and finishing. At The Natural Gemstone Company we encourage viewing our actual images and consulting with our design team on custom settings that will showcase the cushion form and purple depth, ensuring you acquire a beautiful, honest, and distinctive gem that will wear elegantly for generations.
