Legendary Mahenge Spinel from an old collection, exhibiting the vivid pink-red saturation that made the Mahenge discovery world-famous. The exceptional intensity of color seen here is rarely encountered in spinel today, as the original deposits were quickly exhausted. Mahenge Spinel is prized for its remarkable brilliance and purity of tone, qualities that have made it one of the most sought-after gems among collectors and connoisseurs.
