Royal Indigo Purple Reverie Spinel –1.28ct
1.28 ct Loupe-Clean Princess-Cut Purple Spinel | Tunduru, Tanzania
Unveil the rare elegance of a gem born from the mystic soils of Tunduru — a 1.28 carat masterpiece sculpted in a precision princess cut, gleaming with regal restraint and elemental fire. This loupe-clean spinel seduces the gaze with an elusive indigo-purple hue — a tone forged by nature’s most artistic hand, where twilight purples blend with the soulof blue and the breath of crimson.
Neither sapphire nor amethyst, this spinel speaks in its own quiet, luxurious dialect — a connoisseur’s purple. Its medium-dark tone grounds the gem with sophistication, while subtle flashes of fire whisper from within, a delicate dance of brilliance rarely seen in purple stones.
An exquisite rarity in the world of fine gemstones, this piece is not merely owned — it is collected. For the purist. For the visionary. For the one who recognizes rarity not by its volume, but by its voice.

Important Note to Our Esteemed Collectors and Shoppers
In the world of fine gemstones, color reigns supreme. When selecting a gemstone, prioritize color above all else—it defines the gem’s personality, value, and visual impact. Clarity follows closely, enhancing brilliance and purity.
While cut and size contribute to beauty and presence, they are considered secondary— unless you’re exploring exceptional categories such as Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Alexandrites, Tsavorites, Spinels, Diamonds, Paraiba Tourmalines and other rare Collector’s Gems. In these cases, size becomes a significant factor, especially when paired with extraordinary color.
