Sourced directly from the gemstone markets of Luc Yen, Vietnam, this substantial 1.90-carat natural spinel features an attractive berry pink (purplish-red) hue. Cut into a classic cushion shape measuring 7.9 x 6.8 mm, this unheated gemstone is offered at a highly accessible clearance price. Please note that this is a commercial-grade stone with a "sugary" appearance due to heavy natural inclusions, which give it a semi-translucent, textured look. It is an excellent, cost-effective choice for jewelry making students, wire-wrap artisans, or designers looking for genuine earth-mined gems for rustic and vintage-inspired projects.
