A softly toned, delicate pink cushion spinel with a light, feminine character. The color is a pale rose-pink with a peachy undertone, subtle rather than vivid, with fine needle-like inclusions present throughout consistent with the SI clarity grade. The inclusions give the stone a natural silky texture typical of Mae Sai spinel, and despite the modest size, the cushion cut catches light with a gentle, airy sparkle.
From Mae Sai, Thailand, completely untreated, with UV fluorescence. A sweet candidate for small drop earrings, a delicate layering pendant, or an accent stone in a cluster setting where multiple natural gems are brought together. Natural spinel at this size and price point is an affordable way to work with a genuinely untreated, high-hardness gemstone that wears well in daily jewelry.

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.
