HPJ CONNOISSEURS PORTFOLIO: EXTREMELY RARE 1.48 CARAT VVS 'DIAMOND BLACK' SPINEL

INCREDIBLY RARE 1.48 CARAT VVS 'DIAMOND BLACK' SPINEL

MOGOK, BURMA (MYANMAR)

6.98 x 5,72 x 4.31mm

 One of the rarest of Spinels – a ‘Diamond Black’ specimen of great quality. The ‘Diamond Black’ Spinel is not black in colour, despite the name, it is rather a dark grey with violet overtones visible in certain lighting. The term ‘Diamond’ is used to describe the huge fire that these exceptionally rare Spinels exhibit. A wonderfully rare Spinel for the true Connoisseur of fine gemstones.

THE SPINEL

The 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.
