A warm, honey-peach cushion spinel with prominent fine needle inclusions that run through the stone in silky ribbons, giving the interior a soft, gently textured appearance characteristic of naturally crystallized spinel from this region. The color is a warm apricot-pink that shifts between peach and rosy gold in different lights. Rather than a hard, faceted sparkle, the silk inclusions create a subtle inner glow and a slightly velvety quality that many find more appealing than a sterile, over-clean stone.
From Mae Sai, Thailand, completely untreated, with UV fluorescence. The prominent silk inclusions are entirely typical of spinel from this locality and are part of what makes Thai spinel distinctive from more commercially finished stones. Well-suited for artisan settings, organic-style jewelry, and designs where the natural, unprocessed character of the gem is part of the story. Spinel's hardness of 8 ensures durability in everyday wear.

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.
