Among violet spinels, this 3.24 ct rectangular emerald-cut stone from Myanmar’s Mogok Valley stands apart for the depth and saturation of its colour — a vivid, deeply saturated purple-violet that is immediate and commanding across the large step-cut table. The colour sits squarely in the pure purple zone, with enough blue to give it a cool, royal quality without crossing into blue-violet territory. The emerald cut is an excellent presentation for violet spinel of this clarity: the large, open step facets reveal the stone’s extraordinary transparency and allow the rich purple to be observed in its fullest depth. Mogok violet spinel of this colour intensity is uncommon — most Burmese material yields paler or greyer tones, making deeply saturated specimens like this a collector priority. Entirely unheated and untreated. Weight: 3.24 ct | Origin: Mogok, Myanmar | Cut: Emerald | Dimensions: approx. 9.8 × 8.4 mm
