Mahenge Red Spinel 1.30ct

Mahenge, Tanzania

Available

This natural Mahenge red spinel was sourced from the Mahenge spinel mines of Tanzania and shows an intense red-pink Mahenge colour with strong saturation. The stone weighs 1.30 ct. Cut by hand into a sugarloaf cushion, with a high domed crown that holds colour and gives the stone a bold presence. Heat status not yet tested; ask for details. Heavy inclusions run through the stone, including dense natural inclusions, crystal feathers, growth features; up close it has the look of old crystal rather than a modern clean gem. For someone who wants East African spinel with real crystal character, not a lab-clean stone.

What we say on the listing is what we mean. We deal with trusted mudalalis and cutters in Sri Lanka, check the crystal in person, and state treatment and material plainly. When certification shows TBA, the stone has not yet been sent for a formal report; you can certify independently, or we can arrange certification through our lab partners.

Full lab reports typically cost LKR 5,000–8,000 depending on what is required: origin confirmation, memo cards, and similar checks add to the fee. On commercial lots we often skip a certificate to keep the price fair; on important stones we use credentialled partners.

Our trusted labs include AGTL (Beruwala and Colombo) and CGTL in Colombo. Ask us before you bid if you want a report arranged; we will quote the lab fee separately.
