The pink gems found at Mahenge are unlike any other Spinel in terms of their sheer level of saturation - the have become the standard by which fine pinks are judged.  The color intensity of this material is almost unbelievable, the word vivid barely covers it.  Not only is this example that top, vivid pink, but has a fine precision cut as well so the quality is unassailable. Oh, and it is entirely clean as well! A truly magnificent gem of the type that is harder and harder to source by the day.
