This stunning totally untreated Spinel was earth mined in the Mecca of the Spinel World - Mogok, Burma. At 6.64 Carats, and Internally Flawless it is a very impressive and incredibly beautiful specimen.
By now, most on here will know that I am a BIG fan of the Spinel. I cannot deny it. The Spinel epitomises what gems should be - totally natural.
THE SPINEL
Spinels specific gravity is 3.58-3.61. It is a natural and treatment-free stone - neither glass filling nor heat treatments. Cut by the spirits? Might be, but absolutely not burned, irradiated, glass injected or lubricated by the devils.
The incorruptible nature of the Spinel is the main reason behind the renewed fascination of todays international gem markets for it - because it is exactly what gemstones used to be, charming, very rare, occasionally included, but always genuine. Hold one between your hands and you will, for a moment, touch a small part of natures magical beauty.
