Pink spinel is relatively common, as it can be found in different parts of the world. Mahenge spinel, on the other hand, is rarer and more sought-after, with its exceptional quality and unmistakable pink color, which can result in higher prices than other spinels.
Nevertheless, Mahenge Spinel prices can be very attractive for buying a beautiful pink stone of excellent quality. In general, Mahenge spinel is a small stone, down to around 2 carats, and larger ones are rarer and more expensive. In addition to color, clarity and carats, the cut of a cut stone also plays an important role in the price of a Mahenge spinel.
Mahenge spinel is a perfect stone for a spinel engagement ring, since pink symbolizes love and romance in the gem world.
Pink spinel is associated with love, compassion and benevolence and, like other spinels, is said to bring inner peace.
Vivid pink is the most sought-after color of Mahenge spinel. It's a different pink from pink tourmaline, for example, coming in different pinkish shades.
This diversity is highly appreciated in the jewelry world, as is the case with pink sapphire, which comes in many other variations, from pale to intense pink, sometimes with mauve or peach hues.
Mahenge spinel is a rare and little-known gem from Tanzania. Mahenge is the name of the small town near which this type of spinel stone was discovered, in the years 1990/2000. It is becoming increasingly sought-after, characterized by a unique hue that is highly coveted: a bright pink, due to traces of chromium and iron. However, other shades also exist.
Its brilliance is appreciated in jewelry, and its purity is remarkable. Inclusions may occur, but are frequently invisible to the naked eye. Red spinel is more sought-after than Mahenge pink spinel, but jewelers are familiar with this stone. All spinels are hard stones, up to 8 Mohs, which is particularly valuable for jewelry.
Don't forget that our website doesn't always show all the stones available. So, if you'd like to buy a Mahenge spinel, you can browse our stones or contact us. Like our other stones, our spinels are obtained without intermediaries and are sold with a laboratory certificate.
The name Mahenge spinel is specific to the region. This is different from the case of Paraíba tourmaline, which does not come exclusively from Brazil. However, spinel is mined in many countries, and can be red, blue, gray, black and pink, among other colors. Myanmar and Sri Lanka in particular are renowned for their spinel.
