1.25 ct Red Spinel - Cushion

This 1.25-carat spinel is cut as a cushion measuring 6.3 x 5.1 x 4.8 mm, with a red 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 carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
