The carving is detailed and polished, with smooth luster bringing out the depth and reflective qualities that black spinel is known for. Both sides of the piece are carved, showing the artisan’s careful work in shaping it fully rather than leaving a flat back.
This piece can be appreciated as a collectible carving, worn as a pendant, or incorporated into a unique jewelry design. Spinel from Bo Phloi has long been prized for its durability and fine polish, and black spinel in particular has been an important gemstone in both Thai and global markets
