1.25 ct Purple Spinel - Round

This 1.25-carat spinel is cut as a round measuring 6.7 x 4.4 mm, with a purple body color, sourced from Burma.

Spinel is the gemstone long mistaken for ruby in old crown jewels; in its own right it grows as a hard, brilliant, untreated red, pink, or blue. Burma has supplied the gem trade with prized material for centuries, from narrow and irregularly worked deposits. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

This is a real, natural spinel you can wear without a second thought, the genuine article at an easy size. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
