A clean, light blue spinel from Mogok — a colour that is genuinely uncommon in natural spinel. At 0.70ct with a 5.6 × 4.9mm face-up and shallow depth, this stone presents with a wide, open face and a pale, sky-blue tone. A distinctive choice for a small accent piece, a pair of earrings, or a secondary stone in a bespoke design.

Why Light Blue?
Blue spinel from Mogok is a rare and under-appreciated colour. Unlike blue sapphire, which is produced in commercial quantities with routine heat treatment, natural untreated blue spinel is genuinely scarce — and the pale, clear end of the blue spectrum is even less commonly seen. For a jewellery designer seeking a small, distinctive blue stone with known origin and no treatment history, this is a practical and characterful option. No treatments. No enhancements.
