Description

In late 2015, a few kilometers east of the tiny village of Ocua, near the southern border of the Cabo Delgado province on the road linking Pemba and Nampula, some of the world’s most beautiful Pink Spinels were unearthed. Since that auspicious day, these stunning stones have recruited a sizeable following of gem connoisseurs, dealers and designers captivated by their beauty. Their ability to fluoresce strongly is highly sought after as it bestows an almost neon glow to the stones when worn in jewelry, especially at night when most modern light bulbs’ propensity to contain LW and SW Ultraviolet light serve to set this phenomenon off

This rare Pink Spinel exhibits sumptuous saturated pink hues, captivating anyone who beholds its beauty. With high clarity and exceptional transparency, this Mozambique Pink Spinel is a testament to nature's artistry. Meticulously crafted with fine cutting techniques, its facets unleash a mesmerizing play of light, enhancing its allure. This gemstone is a true treasure as it embodies the perfect combination of vibrant color, remarkable clarity, and expert craftsmanship.
