Pink spinel 0.47ct cushion cut

Vivid and warm, this cushion spinel commands attention with a richly saturated hot-pink body color that sits between bubblegum pink and deep rose-red. The facets flash bright pink, cerise, and deeper red tones in direct light, and the stone has a real presence and energy for its size. Natural inclusions are visible consistent with SI clarity, but the dominant impression is of a deeply saturated, lively pink with the kind of color that spinel is celebrated for worldwide.

From Mae Sai, Thailand, this untreated pink spinel is a fine example of the vibrantly colored stones the region is known for. Spinel's hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale makes it an excellent choice for all types of jewelry, and the natural, unheated color adds genuine appeal for buyers who value authenticity. It also fluoresces under UV, a characteristic of many Mae Sai spinels. A great option for small earrings or a petite ring center stone where color impact is the priority.
