Gemstone Description
+
This vivid red spinel displays an intense, slightly purplish-red hue (slpR), beautifully balanced with medium-dark tone and strong saturation. Expertly cushion-cut with good proportions, the gem reveals bright internal reflections without windowing—making it a top candidate for elegant rings, pendants, or bespoke creations.
Sourced from Sri Lanka, this natural spinel shows no evidence of heating or enhancement. The clarity grade is slight, with visible negative crystals and solid inclusions that affirm its authenticity. A gemologist's choice for collectors and designers seeking both character and durability.
Spinel is one of the official birthstones for August and a symbol of vitality and strength. Known historically as “the great imposter” for being mistaken for ruby, red spinels are now revered in their own right. With their intense glow and durability, they make meaningful gifts and memorable center stones in fine jewelry.
