0.83 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a remarkable journey begins. Deep beneath the ancient soil, where time has lingered for millennia, our 0.83 carat oval blue spinel was born. This rare gem, bathed in the blues of tropical skies, is one of nature's masterpieces, formed under the earth's tremendous pressure and through countless geological transformations.

We at The Natural Gemstone Company are proud to honor this precious piece's past, carefully ensuring that its natural beauty is preserved from the moment it emerges from the mines to the time it graces your collection.

The meticulously crafted oval blue spinel in our collection enchants with its medium intense color, a hue reminiscent of the clear azure waters that surround its island birthplace. Its exceptional transparency allows every luminous ray to be gracefully refracted like ripples refracting sunlight across a serene sea. Although identified as very slightly included, these subtle and slight inclusions are not imperfections, but rather, intrinsic signatures of nature, setting each stone apart in its wondrous individuality. These inclusions, akin to an artist's delicate brush strokes or a writer’s pen tracing characters on parchment, add narratives that speak to the depth and authenticity of the gemstone. They are the whispers of the earth, frozen in time, which capture the imagination and evoke a connection to the world's distant past.

Fashioned with a meticulous mixed brilliant cut, the spinel harnesses the symphony of colors within.
