How much does pink spinel cost?

Pink spinel is priced on the intensity of its colour, size and clarity, with vivid hot-pink and neon Mahenge stones commanding the most per carat. Each of our pieces is individually priced; see the stone, or our spinel price guide.

What is Mahenge spinel?

Mahenge is a locality in Tanzania that produces spinel in an intense, almost fluorescent neon pink-red. It is among the most prized and valuable of all spinels, documented by origin on the certificate where determined.

Is pink spinel natural and untreated?

Yes — natural, almost always untreated, and sold with an independent gemological certificate.

Pink spinel or pink sapphire — which should I choose?

Both are durable (spinel is Mohs 8), but pink spinel is singly refractive, typically untreated, and often more attainable than pink sapphire of similar colour, with a bright, clean look many collectors prefer.
