5.10 Carat Natural Loose Spinel Lot For Jewellery Making

About the Item

Faceted Spinel Lot Weight : 5.10 Carat Sizes: 1.15 To 1.35 Carat Colour : Purple Treatment: Non Shape : Cushion Spinel is a captivating gemstone prized for its brilliant colors and exceptional clarity. Found in a spectrum of hues, including red, pink, blue, violet, and orange, spinel has often been mistaken for other gemstones like ruby and sapphire throughout history. One of the most famous examples is the "Black Prince's Ruby," a large red spinel that adorns the British Imperial State Crown, once believed to be a ruby. The allure of spinel lies not just in its beauty but also in its durability. With a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, it is suitable for a variety of jewelry applications, from rings to pendants. Spinel's excellent clarity and high refractive index contribute to its remarkable brilliance, making it a favorite among gem enthusiasts and jewelers alike. Spinel forms in a variety of geological settings, often found in metamorphic rocks and alluvial deposits. Major sources of spinel include Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Tajikistan. Each location produces spinels with distinct color characteristics, influenced by the specific trace elements present in the local geology. In addition to its natural beauty, spinel has a rich historical and cultural significance. Ancient civilizations, particularly in Southeast Asia, valued spinel for its supposed protective properties and its connection to nobility and power. In contemporary times, spinel remains a symbol of resilience and revitalization, often associated with overcoming challenges and emerging stronger. The gemstone market has seen a growing appreciation for spinel in recent years, partly due to its rarity and the increasing popularity of colored gemstones. As more people discover its unique attributes, spinel continues to rise in prominence, celebrated for its stunning colors, exceptional clarity, and storied past. Whether set in a modern piece or an antique jewel, spinel remains a testament to nature's artistry and the enduring appeal of gemstones.

4.75 Carat Natural Loose Apatite Lot For Jewellery Making
Located in Peshawar, PK
Apatite Gemstone Weight: 4.75 Carats Sizes: 0.90 To 1.45 Carats Colour: Neon Green And Neon Blue Origin: Africa Treatment: None Certificate: On Customer Demand Apatite is a beautiful and versatile gemstone known for its vibrant colors and unique metaphysical properties. Its name is derived from the Greek word “apate,” meaning “deception,” as it was often mistaken for other minerals like peridot or topaz. Despite this, apatite holds its own charm and value in the world of gemstones. Apatite comes in a variety of colors, including green, blue, yellow, pink, and violet. Among these, neon blue-green apatite, often sourced from Madagascar, is the most sought-after due to its striking resemblance to the Paraiba tourmaline. The gemstone has a vitreous luster and a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively soft and more suitable for earrings, pendants, or collectors’ pieces rather than daily-wear rings. This gemstone is believed to have powerful metaphysical properties. It is associated with clarity of thought, personal growth, and communication. Blue apatite, in particular, is linked to the throat chakra, aiding in self-expression and confidence. Green apatite is thought to encourage abundance and healing, while yellow apatite...
