Pink Spinel .62CT
Pink spinel is a stunning, durable gemstone prized for its pure color, intense brilliance, and natural state. Ranging from soft pastel blush to vivid hot pink, it is an excellent, often untreated alternative to pink sapphire.
Key Characteristics
- Color Range: Soft pastel, rose pink, hot pink, and vivid fuchsia.
- Hardness: 8 on the Mohs scale, making it highly durable for everyday rings and jewelry.
- Origin: Notable deposits include Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania (with the famous Mahenge region known for producing exceptionally glowing neon pinks).
Quality and Value
- Cut & Brilliance: Spinel is singly refractive, meaning it displays equal color and brilliance from all angles.
- Fluorescence: Many pink spinels have a high chromium content, giving them a vibrant, glowing appearance under ultraviolet light.
