An elegant petite cushion presenting as near-colorless with just the faintest pale lavender-pink body color in natural daylight - pristine, diamond-bright, and almost invisible as a colored stone at first glance. Its true character emerges under UV light: under 365nm longwave UV this small gem blazes a brilliant, intense red-orange, a strong and vivid fluorescence response that transforms it from a quiet near-colorless stone into a glowing ember. The contrast between its subtle daylight appearance and its fiery UV response is genuinely remarkable for a stone of this size.
From Mae Sai, Thailand, completely untreated, the strong red fluorescence is caused by trace chromium and is a completely natural, unenhanced optical property of this spinel variety. This makes the stone a standout piece for UV gem collectors, gemology enthusiasts, and anyone building a UV-reactive gemstone collection. It is also, of course, a tiny and beautiful gem for minimalist jewelry where the UV surprise remains a private delight.
Natural pink spinel with strong red UV fluorescence, untreated, Mae Sai Thailand - sold loose.

About spinel
Spinel is 8 on the Mohs scale, has good toughness and no cleavage, so it resists scratches and rarely chips or splits when knocked. It is a durable choice for everyday wear, rings included.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are usually fine for a faceted spinel, but skip them if the stone has fissures that reach the surface.
Wear and storage
Spinel is hard, so it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Harder stones such as sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so keep it apart from them and store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This spinel is untreated. Spinel handles normal setting, re-tipping and polishing well. If the stone has fissures that reach the surface, keep it out of direct torch flame and acid pickle.
