5.07 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

From the mineral veins of Tanzania to the careful hands of our master cutters, this C.Dunaigre certified spinel has a story that matters, it began its journey in a remote deposit where the earth produced crystals that are increasingly rare in both size and nuanced color, as a 5.07 carat cushion shaped gem measuring 12.85 by 9.78 by 4.79 millimeters it already places itself in a special class, most spinels reaching the market are smaller and often lean more purely toward pink or red, this stone carries a complex brownish pinkish orange to pinkish red hue that shifts with light, the color is vivid in intensity, eye clean at ordinary viewing distance, and completely natural with no enhancement, the C.Dunaigre certificate accompanying the gem affirms its provenance and untreated state, at The Natural Gemstone Company we treasure pieces like this because they tell the geological and human story behind each facet.

The cutting process honored the material, the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize the stone s depth and to reveal that rare, layered color while preserving weight and clarity, meticulous polishing produced an excellent finish that allows light to dance from the crown to the pavilion, when set the gem presents a presence rarely found among spinels of similar hue and size, its 5.07 carat weight gives it substantial wrist or finger presence, yet its cushion silhouette remains elegant and wearable, collectors will note that this brownish pinkish orange pinkish red tone is far less common than the standard pink or ruby like reds frequently offered, the combination of unusual scale, vivid saturation, eye clean clarity, and zero enhancement creates a rarity that resonates with connoisseurs and those seeking an heirloom quality stone, if you imagine this gem in a bespoke ring or a statement pendant you are seeing more than color and carat, you are seeing a piece of Tanzanian geology shaped by expert hands and presented with full certification by The Natural Gemstone Company, for those who pursue rarity in both size and color this spinel is a compelling and honest choice.
