WOWWWWWWWW FOLKS! That is all I can say! In close to a decade we have only seen Pink Spinel from Tajikistan in the rough on a handful of occasions and usually in large sizes with unaffordable prices for everyone to enjoy a stone! The color on this is THE MOST INSANE PINK you will probably ever see! This material is from the Tajik/Afghan border, officially from Tajikistan from the Pamir Range in Gorno Badakshan (a stones throw from Afghanistan). The area is unfortunately extremely hot for drug trafficking (Heroin) and as a result everyone who crosses the border is practically strip searched. There are only a handful of people capable of transferring this material out of Tajikistan through Afghanistan because of the "right connections." There are others transferring it through other routes through Russia and we have been hearing that the Russian Mafia is directly involved in the other trading routes. This material is EXTREMELY limited and rarely available.

It is rare to get clean stones from Tajikistan nowadays especially in the larger sizes and prices on location can go up to $2,500 Per Gram depending on size! We are working on securing additional material in larger sizes and better quality but it is a daunting task competing for the material. Overall most of this material is very slightly to moderately included and should cut Eye-Clean to slightly included with a little effort. I honestly think most stones will have some minor inclusions if you prefer to cut for yield; however, many inclusions will mask up well because of their location in the rough. A few stones have pinpoint inclusions and we are confident that these will mask up well with proper orientation. The color saturation on these and the fact that the lot is running roughly 60%+ High Facet Grade makes this lot a must have! Don't miss your opportunity to pick this up!
