A pear-cut Mahenge spinel with an intense, vivid pinkish-red color that has made this gem type world-famous. Discovered in Tanzania’s Mahenge region in the mid-2000s, these spinels quickly gained renown for their neon-like saturation and exceptional brilliance. Unlike many colored gemstones, spinels are almost never treated, making their natural beauty even more desirable. This gem’s lively sparkle and prized origin make it a standout choice for fine jewelry or as an important addition to any serious gem collection.
