Pink spinel 0.64ct 4.6mm cushion cut

A warm, peachy-salmon cushion spinel with a soft, glowing quality that comes partly from fine needle inclusions distributed throughout the stone. The color is a flattering apricot-pink - not a pure cool pink but a warm blend of peach, rose, and salmon that catches light with a gentle, organic warmth. The natural needle-like silk inclusions scatter light in an attractive, slightly dreamy way, giving the stone a velvet-like inner texture that distinguishes it from cleaner but more ordinary-looking gems.

Sourced from Mae Sai, Thailand, and sold completely untreated, this spinel's peachy-pink color is entirely natural. The fine silk inclusions are typical of spinel from this locality and are part of its identity rather than a detraction. This stone fluoresces under UV light, a bonus property common to Mae Sai spinels. A good fit for handcrafted or artisan jewelry settings, bezel mounts, and designs where a warm, organic character is part of the aesthetic.
