About this stone

Mahenge spinel does something almost no other pink stone does — it holds its saturation well under weak light. This one is loupe clean and precision cut with a good, tight cushion.

Spinel is essentially never treated, and the GIA report confirms no indications of heating for this stone. It is still priced well under a pink sapphire of the same quality, which continues to be the best argument for buying it.

ANY BANK CARD
The stone’s 8.8 × 7.1mm 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.
