Burmese origin — not sold to the United States or United Kingdom

Myanma Gems Enterprise, which controls Burmese gemstone permitting and marketing, is subject to US and UK sanctions. We do not ship Burmese-origin material to either country. Choosing a United States or United Kingdom delivery address at checkout will decline this stone.

About this stone

Grey spinel is a quiet stone that has found its buyers in the last decade, and the difficulty is finding one that is actually grey rather than a washed-out brown or a weak purple. This is a clean steel grey that picks up a lavender cast under cool light.

Currently reserved. Note that Burmese material cannot be sold to buyers in the United States — see our terms.

How big it actually is

ANY BANK CARD
The stone’s 10.4 × 9.9mm outline, drawn to the same scale as a bank card. Hold one against the screen and the stone beside it is life size — if the card does not match, zoom until it does. The outline is the idealised shape rather than this stone’s own profile; the photographs are the stone.

Treatment & certification

Unheated

No heat and no other treatment of any kind. Bought at source, so the heat status is known rather than assumed.

How we know

Untreated. Not laboratory tested — spinel of this type is not routinely treated.

Certification arranged with the sale

A stone at this level does not go through the basket, so the report is arranged as part of the sale rather than added at checkout. We’ll send it to GIA, SSEF, Gübelin, GRS or Lotus, quote the fee with the stone, and nothing is dispatched until the report is back. Allow three to six weeks.

We use the international laboratories rather than local ones, which is the point of paying for it.

Every listing on this site states its treatment, including when the honest answer is that we don’t know. How we describe stones.
