0.82 Ct. Spinel

This exquisite bluish grey spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company arrives as a study in refined restraint and luminous power, its transparent body radiating a cool yet confident presence. Weighing 0.82 carat, and fashioned into a perfect round shape, this gem measures 5.75 x 5.74 x 3.73 millimeters, an ideal size for a striking solitaire or a refined three stone setting. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize light return, and the excellent polish allows each facet to sing with clarity, creating a live surface that responds to movement with flashes of soft blue and steel grey. At eye level the clarity is very very slightly included, presenting a clean and elegant appearance without the need for magnification, and the medium color intensity gives this stone a saturated yet wearable tone that reads as both authoritative and versatile. There has been no enhancement to alter its natural state, and while the origin is unknown, the purity of its presentation and the absence of treatments make this spinel a true natural statement piece.

Compared with other blue and grey gems on the market, this spinel stands apart in a number of important ways that matter to discerning buyers. Against blue sapphire, spinel offers a distinctive bluish grey palette that is softer and more modern, and while sapphire often carries a higher price tag because of its market perception, this spinel delivers an equally arresting color and beautiful polish at a more approachable value, making it an intelligent choice for clients who seek exceptional appearance without the conventional premium. Against tanzanite, this spinel has greater stability in tone over time and fewer concerns about cleavage, offering day to day durability that is reassuring for everyday wear. When compared to other spinels, the no enhancement attribute elevates this specimen, because many spinels on the market are heat treated to modify tone or clarity, and an untreated stone retains its full natural integrity, a quality that collectors and connoisseurs prize. The mixed brilliant cut here is not merely decorative, it is a precision choice that optimizes brilliance and scintillation in a way that step cuts cannot, and the gem’s proportions deliver visual balance on the finger or in a pendant, showing off both spread and depth for a more impactful presence.

Selecting this bluish grey spinel is choosing a personal emblem of power and distinction, a jewel that declares intention without shouting. Its medium intensity blue grey reads as a modern neutral, capable of anchoring both everyday ensembles and formal looks, while the subtle play of light created by the excellent polish and meticulous cutting gives it a living personality that responds to movement and mood. For designers and private buyers alike, the 0.82 carat weight and near identical diameter measurements mean this stone can be matched or paired with confidence in bespoke work, and its untreated, transparent nature provides a pure canvas for creative settings in platinum, white gold, or even warm metals for a contemporary contrast. At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate gems that combine beauty, durability, and ethical provenance, and this spinel exemplifies our commitment to offering materials that are both visually superior and sound in value. If you are looking to invest in a piece that reads as refined authority, and to carry a color that symbolizes personal power and quiet distinction, this bluish grey spinel is a singular choice that will wear gracefully for generations.
