0.34 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This purplish blue spinel began its journey deep within the ancient alluvial terraces of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where small scale miners work with generations of knowledge and respect for the land. From the moment the rough was raised, careful sorting preserved its natural transparency and color, and local cutters with a practiced hand chose a classic oval outline to reveal the stone's inner life. The result is a delicate 0.34 carat oval spinel, dimensions 4.56 x 3.83 x 2.68 mm, that carries the quiet story of its birthplace in every facet. Its mixed brilliant cut allows light to dance through the purplish blue body tone, yielding flashes that shift with movement, while the excellent polish creates a smooth, luminous surface that feels as refined as it looks.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in sharing the specific qualities that make this spinel sing. It is transparent, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and a medium color intensity that balances presence with subtlety. There has been no enhancement, so what you see is the original, natural beauty of the gem. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to highlight both sparkle and depth, making the stone suitable for a refined solitaire ring, a minimalist pendant, or as a thoughtful accent in custom settings. Its modest size and superb polish make it versatile, allowing it to sit comfortably in everyday wear while still commanding attention when held to the light.

Our relationships with trusted partners in Sri Lanka focus on fair compensation, safe working conditions, and environmental stewardship, so this gem arrives to you with a traceable path and a commitment to community benefit.
