Comments:
Mahenge spinel are known for their exceptional color, and piercing brightness - Two qualities which this gem does posses.
Lighter colors in general are not known for their 'piercing' qualities, but this light, baby pink is rather strong, and easy to perceive, even given the small size.
Faceted in a classic emerald step-cut, this gem shoots out radiant, geometric brilliance far above it's pay grade.
