0.62 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Nestled within the esteemed history of Ceylon now known as Sri Lanka, lies a legacy that speaks to the hearts of gemstone aficionados worldwide. From the island's lush landscapes emerges a marvel of nature, the violet spinel, a gemstone whose allure is nothing short of legendary. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take immense pride in offering a transparent 0.62 carat cushion-shaped violet spinel, distinguished by its exquisite nature and a narrative that transcends time. This rare gem not only encapsulates the natural beauty that is synonymous with Sri Lanka but does so with an elegance that has captivated collectors and connoisseurs for centuries.

The enchanting hue of this violet spinel is truly a sight to behold, drawing comparisons to the famed sapphires of Kashmir and the amethysts of the Ural Mountains. However, this gemstone holds an individual resonance that distinguishes it from these renowned counterparts. The rich violet color with its dark intensity evokes the serene twilight of a tropical Ceylon evening, resonating deep within the soul. Measured at dimensions of 5.88 x 4.64 x 2.80 mm, this stone is a splendid example of nature's artistry, mirroring the idyllic scenery from which it originates. The presence of very slight inclusions provides a depth and character to the gemstone, much like the terrain of its homeland, narrating tales of enduring wonder and beauty.

The mixed brilliant cut of this spinel ensures an unsurpassed brilliance, capturing light with a radiance that is unparalleled, a testament to both craftsmanship and the inherent qualities of the gem itself. Its excellent polish further enhances this luminosity, allowing it to rival even the most storied of gemstones across the globe. In this distinctive cut and polish, one may find whispers of heritage, celebrated through generations, making this an exquisite piece that embodies timeless elegance and sophistication. The jewelry crafted from the violet spinel at The Natural Gemstone Company promises to resonate with heirloom quality, a treasure to be cherished across generations.

Drawing historical parallels, our Ceylon spinel stands shoulder to shoulder with the iconic Burmese rubies, both celebrated for their saturated beauty and profound historical significance. Nonetheless, the unique hue of this spinel, with its vivid saturation and rich tones, ensures it remains peerless among its gemstone kin. Its presence invokes the same sense of awe and reverence typified in stories of regal embellishments and affluent courtly settings, further emphasizing its status among the collectors' circles. The continued allure of our violet spinel serves as a testament to the ageless charm and lasting legacy of the treasures sourced from the heart of the Gem Island.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we hold in high regard the artistry, culture, and history embedded in each gemstone we offer. Our transparent 0.62 carat violet spinel from Ceylon stands not only as a representation of a specific locale's geological wonder but also as a token of our commitment to preserving this timeless bond with the past.
