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

Oozing with immense charm, this Emerald Step Cut Spinel is truly a sight to behold. Boasting a stunning almost 'bubble gum pink' color, its aesthetic appeal is undeniably fabulous. Adding to its charm, it possesses a beautiful luster and demonstrates an enormous amount of life. The intricate and great cutting of this gem is evident, further enhancing its radiant appearance. Its extremely high clarity is a measure of its impeccable standard. Mined in the raw wilderness, this eye-catching gemstone hails from the prestigious mines of Mozambique. On the whole, this Step Cut Spinel serves as a glowing testament to nature's striking beauty and excellent craftsmanship.
