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 truly remarkable matched pair of Marquise cut Pink Spinels weighs 2.40 carats total weight and is top grade in all attributes. Exhibiting the most exquisite pink tones, its flawlessly clear quality enhances its dynamic brilliance in an exceptional manner. This Spinel is indeed a superb representation of the highest pedigree in this gem type. They would make a spectacular pair of very sparkly earrings.
