0.57 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of gemstone lore and legacy lies the enigmatic spinel, a gemstone that has transcended centuries of admiration and adoration. Among the many treasures unearthed from the mystical lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, the purplish grey spinel stands out with its rich lineage and timeless allure. Dating back to ancient India and East Asia, spinels have often found their place in royal crowns and sacred relics, cherished for their durability and arresting hues. Our enduring fascination with spinels stems in part from these historical ties, but also from their distinctive presence which speaks volumes about the bearer and their appreciation for classic elegance. This beautiful 0.57 carat oval-shaped spinel embodies this time-honored tradition while adding a contemporary flair, an asset to those who pride themselves on an affinity for both antiquity and innovation.

The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents this spinel with absolute reverence, acknowledging its fine lineage and exquisite craftsmanship. Rich in symbolic meaning, the bold purplish grey hue is an unspoken testament to one's personal power and unique distinction.

Crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, this spinel reflects light in a tantalizing dance of glints and gleams, offering a mirror to its rich historical narrative. The medium intense color intensity is brought to prominence due to an excellent polish, creating a surface that shimmers with ethereal luminescence. The near-perfect clarity of very very slightly included adds to its mystery rather than detracting from it, offering a window into its history yet keeping the whole story veiled as only nature's wonders can.
