An elegant spinel from Mahenge, Tanzania, with a delicate lavender tone. Cut in a step-style design, the stone displays crisp light reflections across its broad facets, emphasizing clarity and luster. Spinel is prized for its single refractive nature, which gives it a purity of color without secondary interference. Mahenge material is especially valued for its clean saturation and rarity in this pastel range, making it both a collector’s stone and a fine option for jewelry.
