Gemstones can appear in different shades depending on the light source and the setting in which they are viewed. Our photographs and videos are made with care to reflect each gem's true appearance as closely as possible. Slight colour variations may nonetheless be perceived depending on screens and viewing conditions.
The hue of Mahenge spinel comes from the natural presence of chromium in its crystal structure, responsible for its intense colours ranging from vivid pink to raspberry red. This gem is distinguished by an exceptional saturation, a strong brilliance and a great clarity, which give it a particularly vivid and luminous presence in fine jewellery.
It ranks among the gemstones most sought after for its intense pink and red tones, alongside similar stones such as ruby, pink sapphire and pink tourmaline, all highly valued for their lustre and their elegance.
