0.85 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 0.85 carat oval shape blue spinel, measuring 6.23 x 5.01 x 3.31 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement. This stone stands out from many market alternatives because it combines a true natural, untreated origin with a cut designed to maximize brilliance and depth. Compared to heat treated sapphires of similar color, this blue spinel offers a cleaner, crisper appearance with fewer inclusions visible at face up, and compared to synthetic spinel it provides genuine rarity and long term value. The mixed brilliant cut gives lively flash and strong return of light, which makes the rich Ceylon blue read as lively and saturated even under softer lighting. For jewelry designers and collectors who normally consider blue sapphire or lab created stones, this spinel delivers similar visual impact at a more accessible price point, while offering a unique hue that sits between classic cornflower blue and deep ocean blue, offering versatility for rings, necklaces, and bespoke settings.

The origin of this spinel, Ceylon Sri Lanka, is significant and adds measurable value. Sri Lankan spinel has a long history of producing gems with refined color and stable crystal quality, and buyers often pay a premium for stones from this region because of proven provenance and consistent characteristics. An untreated Ceylon blue spinel is rarer on the market than many treated or synthetic options, and this rarity enhances both aesthetic desirability and potential resale value. The Natural Gemstone Company sources responsibly and evaluates each gem to certify authenticity and clarity, so you receive a gem that is ready to set and enjoy without concerns about undisclosed treatments. When compared side by side with other blue gems of similar carat weight and tone, this 0.85 carat Ceylon spinel balances beauty, durability, and value, making it an exceptional choice for someone seeking a distinctive, natural blue stone that performs equally well in modern and vintage inspired designs.
