I have two Mahenges, one being pure neon pink and another being pink, with red and orange. I have bought a few spinels since and I would like to talk about spinels in general. I have bought and returned many a spinel with a grey or brown color to it. The stone you pictured would be one that I would return as it is not vibrant in color and seems a bit grey to me. It could be the that your picture does not truly represent the color your stone. A good spinel from my experience does not have any grey or brown that you can see with your eyes. I think the typical Mahenge spinel criteria is a neon pink or pink with red spinel that glows in low light. I really don't care what the ideal "Mahenge" color is, but after acquiring two "Mahenges" it has made me desire pink and red spinels with vibrant color and glow that do not show grey in any light. I recently bought a Burma spinel that is a pink/red and has a glow that although not Mahenge is very beautiful. I hope that helps.
Thank you very much for your answer!
It's a 4.16 Spinel from Mogok.
It's Neon Pink with slightly Red undertones (depends on the light) - but I can't see any gray or brown myself.
