The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present an exquisite specimen of nature's artistry, a translucent 0.38 carat oval-shaped purplish pink spinel originating from the renowned gem reserves of Ceylon. Among the myriad of gemstones available in the marketplace, this particular spinel distinguishes itself through its unique intrinsic inclusions, which imbue it with both character and authenticity. Such inclusions serve as a signature, exclusive to each gemstone, offering tangible evidence of the spinel's natural formation process deep within the Earth's crust.
