A very fine lilac Spinel from Tunduru, Tanzania
Tunduru, in southern Tanzania, is one of the world’s most diverse gem localities, producing a remarkable range of species and colors. Spinels from this area are valued for their clarity and lively brilliance, often appearing in pastel shades that are rarely seen elsewhere.
This stone is an excellent example of the type, combining precision faceting with a balanced, open color that performs beautifully under different lighting conditions.
