1.94 ct Pink Spinel - Round

At 1.94 carats, this spinel from Burma carries its pink color through a round cut, measuring 5.9 x 4.2 mm.

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.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
