Why Vivid Purple?
Purple spinel from Mogok offers something that purple sapphire rarely can — an untreated stone with a documented origin. The vast majority of purple sapphires on the market have been heat-treated; natural untreated examples command a significant premium. Purple spinel sits in the same colour territory at a more accessible price point, with full assurance that no treatment has been applied. For a jewellery maker or buyer who wants the colour without the compromise, this is worth serious consideration.
