Pink spinel 0.43ct cushion cut

A vibrantly colored, warmly saturated cushion spinel with a lively hot-pink hue and good brilliance for its compact size. The facets flash bright pink and deeper rose tones as the stone moves in the light, giving this small gem a punchy, eye-catching energy. It is one of the more vividly saturated stones in this range of Mae Sai cushion spinels, with a color that genuinely stands out despite its sub-half-carat weight.

Sourced from Mae Sai, Thailand, and completely untreated, with UV fluorescence. Natural, unheated pink spinel at this level of color saturation represents excellent value at the sub-carat range. Spinel's exceptional hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale means it stands up to everyday wear reliably. A great pick for earring studs, a petite ring center stone, or a vibrant accent piece where a pop of natural pink is the goal.
