Spinel from Tajikistan is known for its high-quality and beautiful red and pink hues. The mines of Tajikistan have been producing high-quality spinel for over 2,000 years.

Spinel from Tajikistan is prized for its vivid color, clarity and high transparency. These gemstones are usually small to medium in size and are typically found in marble and schist formations. The mines in Tajikistan are mainly located in the Pamir and Alai mountain ranges, which are known for producing high-quality, vivid red and pink spinels.

Tajikistan spinels are often compared to ruby in appearance and can be found in a range of sizes and shapes, including cushion and oval cuts, and they are known to have a good durability, making them suitable for everyday wear.

It is worth noting that while Spinel from Tajikistan is rare and high quality, it is not as well known as other gemstones, so it might not be as well understood by some jewelers or buyers and it's good to ask for lab certifications or other forms of authenticity before purchasing.
