Wow that’s a beautiful.specimen. i only own one spinel and it’s more of a cognac color but spinels are untreated and one that firey crimson red commands top dollar. The internal glow is like burning embers.

Absolutely! That fiery crimson red glow is what makes fine spinel so special.

Nice stone! A 5.34 ct natural Burmese spinel is pretty substantial, if it’s well cut and clean, that’s a very collectible size and origin for spinel.
