About the Item

Loose Colour Change Spinel Weight: 5.95 Carat Dimension: 12.3 x 10.6 x 5.8 Mm Treatment: Non Certificate: On Demand Origin: Tanzania Loose Colour Change Spinel is one of the rarest and most fascinating varieties of spinel available in the gemstone market. Unlike ordinary spinel, this unique type displays a remarkable phenomenon known as colour change, where the stone shifts its hue depending on the lighting environment. Under natural daylight, a colour change spinel may appear bluish, violet, or grayish, while under incandescent or artificial light it can transform into shades of pink, reddish purple, or lavender. This effect is similar to the celebrated Alexandrite, but spinel offers a more affordable alternative while still being highly collectible. Spinel itself is a durable gemstone with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for all types of jewelry, including rings and pendants. The colour change variety is particularly rare, found only in select locations such as Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Tanzania, and Vietnam. Among these, Burmese and Sri Lankan stones are especially prized due to their strong saturation and distinct shift in colour. The value of loose colour change spinel depends on several factors. The strength and sharpness of the colour change are the most important. A stone that dramatically shifts from blue to purple or violet to pink commands a higher price than one with only a subtle shift. Clarity is also important, as eye-clean stones with minimal inclusions are much more valuable. Carat weight adds to rarity, with larger stones over two carats being exceptionally scarce. Finally, origin and certification from reputable labs such as GRS, AGL, or GIA can significantly enhance trust and market value. Because of its rarity and enchanting visual effect, loose colour change spinel is increasingly sought after by collectors, investors, and jewelry designers. It represents a blend of beauty, durability, and natural wonder, making it a gemstone worth considering for both personal collections and business investments.
