SPI-PUR-814
Natural Unheated Purple Spinel 8.14 Carat
Gorgeous Grape. This large Purple Spinel can barely contain its juicy jolt of color and brilliance within its plush, cushion-like cut! For centuries, only the aristocracy was permitted to wear the color purple. Ancient cultures along the Mediterranean "milked" the purple dye from a shellfish called the Murex, and strict rules governed who could wear purple, depending upon their social status. But lucky you --owning this purple jewel is as easy as calling us today.
