1 pcs Red Spinel - 9.16 ct - Lotus Gemology - "Origin Vietnam"

Spinel is a gemstone with a deep-rooted history, often overshadowed by more common corundum stones like ruby and sapphire but valued for its vivid colors and durability. This impressive single red spinel weighs 9.16 carats and is report-certified by Lotus Gemology, with an origin indication of Vietnam, a region known for producing high-quality spinels. The red color of spinel can range from bright cherry red to more subtle hues, often confused historically with rubies due to their similar appearance, yet spinel has its own unique chemical composition and crystal structure. This gem's large carat weight and deep, glowing red color make it particularly prized for statement jewelry pieces. Spinel's relative rarity compared to ruby adds to its desirability among gem enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate its rich history and exceptional beauty.
