0.90 ct. Spinel (Burma, Inky Blue with Violet Undertones)

This 0.90 ct. unheated spinel from Burma has an inky blue body color that shifts into soft violet undertones in direct light. The tone is deep but not overly dark, allowing the stone to hold a clean, even color across the face. The square emerald cut shape gives it a refined, crisp, elegant appearance, and the overall clarity is excellent for an untreated spinel in this tone range. To the eye, it faces up crisp and bright, with the single internal inclusion only visible under magnification.

This stone is completely unheated and untreated, which is significant for fine Burmese spinel. Natural stones in this color family, especially those that have great brilliance and color at smaller carat sizes, have become harder to source in recent years. Burmese origin continues to be one of the most respected sources for high-quality spinel, valued for color stability, structural integrity, and strong light performance. This piece reflects that reputation clearly and would be well suited for a fine jewelry project or a curated collection of natural, investment-grade stones, or for metaphysical stone practitioners.

Because of its origin, clarity, and clean saturation, this spinel sits in the premium tier for naturally colored blue-to-violet Burmese material. It has a focused, elegant presence and the kind of depth collectors look for when choosing long-term additions to their collection.

VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE

This spinel carries a blend of Blue Band, Indigo Band, and Violet Band vibrations within the Universal Vibrational Spectrum. The Blue Band contributes a sense of steadiness and internal organization.

The Indigo Band supports clear perception and focused awareness, helping the subtle body settle into a deeper state of alignment.

The Violet Band brings the Violet Flame energy to connect with Spirit, and an integrative quality that encourages insight and coherence in contemplative work.

Together, these frequencies give the stone an energetic presence that feels calm, structured, clear, and deeply attuned to Spirit.


METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Blue and violet spinels are often used to support clarity, discernment, and balanced awareness. This stone’s natural, untreated state gives it a clean, stable energy field that works well in subtle-body practices, meditation, or any form of inner work where focus and coherence are needed. Its deep color paired with its high clarity also makes it an excellent choice for intentional jewelry, pieces meant to be worn daily for both beauty and energetic support.

For collectors, this stone offers a high-quality example of unheated Burmese spinel in a rare, desirable tone. The origin, clarity, and color balance place it firmly in the category of long-term, investment-worthy material.


You will receive the exact stone shown here. This piece was hand-selected by Ashley for its color, structure, origin, cut, and vibrational quality.

Please note that most of our photography and some videos are taken with a 2x to 10x macro lens, which can make inclusions appear more visible than they are to the unaided eye. While we aim to capture true color and clarity, variations may occur depending on your screen.

FAQ

JEWELRY

Are the stones and materials you use natural?

Yes! All of the stones we use are high-grade, premium, and 100% natural just as Gaia made them. They are not treated in any way (heat, irradiation, dye, stabilized, etc.) because some treatments alter the vibrational nature of the stone and can be detrimental to the energy field of the wearer. We use either 100% linen or silk thread for our beaded necklaces as they are highly conductive, helping the energy travel powerfully through the piece.

Do pieces come in other sizes or stone combinations?

Each piece made is unique and not made to order. Therefore, this piece cannot be altered and does not come in other sizes or stone combinations. However, if you like this piece and want it longer, made with different stones, or altered in any way, please reach out to request a custom order via the Contact page.

Who made the pieces in your store?

Each piece is handcrafted with intention and love by founder Ashley Sohl. She hand-picks every stone and component that is used, and handmakes each piece with care and attention. We do not believe in mass produced, cookie-cutter jewelry. Sanctuary Vibrational Jewelry makes unique stone ally adornments for inner journeys and personal transformation.

How do you know the vibration of the stones?

The vibrational qualities are painstakingly tested by Ashley using a comibination of ancient and modern vibrational scientific techniques from different schools of thought, including BioGeometry, physical Radiesthesia, New Homeopathy, and more.

Do you use real gold?

Yes! We use solid 14k gold. We recently started offering gold-filled as an option to make pieces accessible to more people. If gold-filled doesn't show up as an option, please contact me to request a custom.

I want a piece that is sold out. What should I do?

Every piece I make is a genuine one of a kind. If you see a piece you like, but is sold out, you can request a custom order to have me make another one. But please be aware that some stones are very rare and I may not be able to source the exact same stones. Use the contact page to send me a message and we can discuss from there.

I want a gemstone or specimen that is sold out. What should I do?

Do your gemstones come with a certificate of authenticity?

Please note that only certain stones qualify for an identification + origin report (as opposed to just identification). Rough material or specimens are subject to GIA's ability to grade them. If you have questions about certification, please contact us directly.
