Why Vivid Pinkish-Purple?
Pinkish-purple spinel from Mogok is a colour combination that is surprisingly rare and highly regarded among collectors and informed buyers. The tone is neither fully pink nor fully purple — it has a vivid, saturated quality that shifts subtly depending on the light. At nearly 1.8 carats, this is a substantial gemstone in a colour that most jewellers will never have stocked. For a bespoke commission or collector's acquisition that prioritises colour character over conventional choices, this is a stone worth serious consideration. Entirely natural. No treatments of any kind.
