0.47 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company presents an exquisite treasure from the heart of Ceylon—our 0.47-carat round shape purple spinel. This gemstone is a marvel of nature, steeped in a rich heritage akin to the ancient tapestries of its origin. Its allure is not only in its beauty but also in the legacy it carries from one of the world’s most esteemed sources of gemstones. Celebrated through centuries for its captivating qualities, the Sri Lankan gemstones have enchanted royalty and collectors alike. This spinel stands as a testament to that timeless allure.

Measuring 4.61 by 4.60 by 3.31 millimeters, the stone's dimensions reveal a gem of perfect proportions. Crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, this spinel reflects light in a dance of luminosity akin to the famous diamonds of South Africa. Its clarity grade—eye clean—ensures that the stone's natural beauty is unobscured, inviting the beholder into a profound visual embrace, much like the sought-after Burmese rubies known for their clarity and purity. The light color intensity of this spinel resonates with the gentle allure of its hue, a delicate violet akin to the famed sapphires of Kashmir, offering a serenely pastel glow that captivates the senses.

The polished surface is exemplary, a testament to the craftsmanship dedicated to enhancing the spinel's innate beauty. It mirrors the meticulous artistry found in the prestigious emeralds of Colombia, each facet carefully fashioned to elevate its brilliance. This excellent polish allows the gem to radiate a spectrum of subtle colors, presenting an enchanting play of light that echoes the majestic gleam of Australian opals, further attesting to its superior quality. The undisturbed surface is a canvas reflecting the gem’s internal world, clear and profound.

Such sophistication in a gemstone is not just a matter of appearance. It speaks to a deeper heritage. Spinels have been cherished throughout history, adorning the crowns of emperors and lauded for their mystical qualities.
