1.31 ct. Unheated Vivid Red Burmese Spinel

This 1.31-carat oval-cut Burmese spinel is an extraordinary gemstone that is quickly rising in value. This gemstone radiates a luminous, vivid red hue that rivals the finest rubies. Its dimensions, 7.5 x 5.7 x 3.75 mm, and very slightly included clarity (AAA quality) elevate it to the zenith of gemstone perfection. Burmese spinels of this exceptional quality are increasingly scarce, particularly in the revered vivid pigeon blood red color that rivals the coveted pigeon blood red of rubies, making this gem a highly sought-after gemstone for collectors and connoisseurs.

Sourced from the legendary mines of Burma (Myanmar), this spinel represents the epitome of rarity and beauty, embodying the energy of a land steeped in ancient traditions and gemological richness. With a brilliance enhanced by its oval cut, this gemstone exudes both aesthetic majesty and metaphysical potency, offering a remarkable fusion of elegance and energy. Stones of this quality from Burma are becoming increasingly difficult to source, with prices per carat climbing quickly, making a spinel of this quality a great investment.

For gem connoisseurs, this Spinel's rarity and vibrancy make it a standout in any collection, while its metaphysical properties add to its significance. The vivid red hue, a symbol of vitality, passion, and courage, radiates frequencies that awaken the inner flame, making it a powerful talisman for transformation and empowerment.

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.
