AIG Certified 4.26CT Natural violet Color Spinel From Tanzania
Weight:(4.26)CT
Stone:(Spinel)
Origin:(Tanzania)
Tanzanian spinel is a strikingly beautiful gemstone known for its vibrant colors, ranging from rich reds and purples to deep blues. It is a variety of spinel, a mineral composed of magnesium aluminum oxide, and is primarily sourced from mines in Tanzania, which is why it carries the "Tanzanian" prefix. Tanzanian spinels are often prized for their exceptional brilliance, high clarity, and vivid hues, making them a popular choice in fine jewelry.
Unlike other gemstones, spinel is known for its excellent hardness (8 on the Mohs scale), which makes it durable and resistant to scratches. Tanzanian spinel can be found in several color variations, with red and pink being the most common. However, some of the rarer, blue and violet stones are highly coveted in the gemstone market.
The gemstone's vibrant colors are often compared to rubies or sapphires, but spinel is generally more affordable than these precious stones. Its rarity, beautiful range of colors, and durability make Tanzanian spinel a sought-after gem for collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
