Spinel 0.33 ct

A vivid pink spinel from Mahenge, Tanzania.

Once mistaken for ruby or sapphire, spinel is now rightly celebrated for its exceptional brilliance, vivid color, and impressive durability. With a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale and excellent toughness, it is well-suited for everyday jewelry. Spinel occurs in a wide range of striking hues—from fiery red and electric pink to cobalt blue and beyond—making it a captivating alternative to more traditional gemstones. Fine specimens from renowned sources such as Luc Yen (Vietnam), Mahenge (Tanzania), and Burma are increasingly prized by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
