A 0.48ct neon red-pink natural spinel from Mogok, Myanmar — untreated and eye-clean. Neon-tone spinel is the rarest and most commercially prized colour category the mine produces. This intense red-pink has an almost electric quality to the saturation — a colour that reads as vivid even at sub-0.5ct. Eye-clean clarity at 4.4 × 4.0mm makes it a strong candidate for earring or pendant settings.

What Is Neon Spinel?
Neon-tone spinel refers to stones where the colour saturation reaches an unusual intensity — the colour appears to glow rather than simply reflect light. In Mogok red-pink spinels, this quality is driven by the natural fluorescence and high refractive index of the mineral. True neon-quality material from Mogok is produced in small quantities annually and is sought after by collectors and jewellers working at the highest end of the colour gemstone market.
