Deep within the heart of ancient Ceylon, nestled amidst lush landscapes and beneath the warm sun, lies the hidden treasure that is our pinkish purple spinel. This beautiful gem, measuring 5.82 x 4.36 x 2.58 mm and weighing 0.48 carats, began its journey millions of years ago, forming under immense pressure and evolving into the striking stone you see today. Its unique pinkish purple hue, rare and captivating, captures the magic of twilight over a tropical paradise.
