This is a fine and rare spinel from the kachin jungle swamps of Namya. Kachin farmers dig there to seach rubies and spinels after the rice harvest is done. Stones are rare but sometimes very attractive. This special stone has a very attractive hot pink color with a very good saturation and fluorescence. It has also a very big face and looks larger than it is in reality. That the good point... the bad point is that there is a medium size window in the center of the stone is which the color looks weaker as the light is not reflected. But this window effect can be reduced if the stone is set in a jewelry pice with some metal reflecting the light going through. In fact this is the reason why such stone are very appreciated: Big face and very affordable price compared to the perfect stone of the size its looks to be... A very good bargain! |
