A 1.22ct purple natural spinel from Mogok, Myanmar — untreated with slight inclusions. The purple colour is rich and well-saturated with a medium tone — not so light it looks lavender, not so dark it loses vibrancy. At 6.2 × 5.5mm, the face-up size is practical for a range of jewellery applications.

Why Purple Mogok Spinel?
Purple spinel from Mogok occupies a position in the colour spectrum that is genuinely hard to source in untreated natural material. Most purple gemstones — amethyst, tanzanite — are treated or fragile; purple spinel at hardness 8 with a Mogok provenance is both distinctive and durable. The natural purple colour of spinel has a depth and richness that synthetic or treated alternatives do not replicate accurately. For designers seeking an unusual purple centrepiece with clear provenance and no treatment history, this is a strong choice.
