Our 0.50 carat cushion-shaped purple spinel is a standout gem. At 4.55 x 4.55 x 3.27 mm, it features a mixed brilliant cut, carefully enhancing its sparkle and fire. The gem carries a very slight inclusion grade, which is practically invisible to the naked eye, maintaining its allure. Its medium color intensity is balanced and pleasing, offering a gentle yet vivid purple hue. With an excellent polish, every facet of this spinel interacts gracefully with light, ensuring a magnificent shimmer. The gem originates from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), a region renowned worldwide for its extraordinary gemstone heritage.
Compared to other gems on the market, our purple spinel is unmatched in its category. Spinels, unlike many other gemstones, are entirely natural and untreated, ensuring their natural beauty is untainted by human interference. While gems like sapphires and amethysts are popular, spinels are rarer, making this an exclusive addition to any collection. Unlike other purple stones that may fade over time, the color of a spinel remains as vibrant as the day it was first mined. This rare blend of durability, natural beauty, and exclusivity sets our purple spinel apart.
