0.87 Ct. Purple Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One transparent 0.87 carat cushion shape purple spinel, with precise dimensions of 5.30 by 5.05 by 4.07 millimeters, arrives as a remarkably balanced combination of size and sparkle. This gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style that enhances both scintillation and face up presence, offering lively flashes from the crown and a pleasing depth from the pavilion. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which gives the stone a natural character without compromising its brilliance. The color presents as a medium intensity purple, a refined hue that reads as purple with cool undertones under typical lighting conditions, and the polish is excellent, allowing for crisp facet reflections and smooth hand feel. Importantly, this spinel is untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka speaks to a heritage of fine gemstone material that has been prized by connoisseurs for generations. For those selecting a gemstone with measurable specifications, these details ensure you understand exactly what you are receiving, and that it represents a genuine, natural, and well finished example of Sri Lankan spinel.

If you are searching for the ideal engagement ring center or a singular gift to mark a milestone, this purple cushion spinel answers that search with grace and distinction. Spinel is celebrated for its brilliance and resilience, and in this size and shape the stone sits beautifully in a variety of settings, from a classic four prong solitaire to a halo that magnifies its presence on the hand. The medium color intensity offers versatility, flattering both warm and cool metal choices, and the subtle inclusions contribute to the stone s personality while remaining unobtrusive to the naked eye. Gifting this gem expresses thoughtfulness and an eye for rarity, because purple spinel is less commonly chosen than other purple gemstones, making it a memorable alternative that still delivers color and fire.
