0.72 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Born in the depths of the earth, and cradled by the time-worn embrace of geological formation, the story of this exquisite blue spinel is one of nature's great accomplishments. This gemstone began its journey millions of years ago in the rich and vibrant soils of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka. This illustrious island, celebrated for its lush landscapes and abundant resources, is a land where the art of gemstone mining has been practiced for centuries. Expert miners continue the tradition of their ancestors by extracting these natural wonders with respectful precision, maintaining a history steeped in cultural significance. This particular blue spinel, a delicate marvel of nature, was unearthed with a gentle touch that only seasoned hands possess, preserving the pristine quality that is now crafted into brilliance.

As our gemstone emerged from the mineral-rich clays of Sri Lanka, it embarked upon a transformative journey. Each spinel is a rare masterpiece, distinguished by its captivating hue and remarkable clarity, qualities that are inherently present in the azure depths of this 0.72 carat gem. The spinel's dimensions of 6.40 by 4.83 by 3.28 mm make it a perfect candidate for a variety of jewelry settings, promising versatility and elegance in design. Carefully cut into an oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut, the stone refracts light into mesmerizing patterns, displaying a medium intense color that evokes the tranquil depths of the ocean. This clarity, graded as very slightly included, suggests a purity that appeals to those who appreciate the subtleties of nature's creations.
