0.90 Ct. Greyish Violet Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 0.90 carat oval greyish violet spinel measures 6.66 x 4.82 x 3.70 mm, and is faceted with a refined mixed brilliant cut that optimizes light return and face up brilliance, the polish is excellent, and the stone is unenhanced, originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Clarity has been graded as slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in spinel is often expected and does not materially diminish the visual appeal when combined with the gemological strengths of excellent cutting and polish. With medium color intensity the greyish violet hue reads as a rich, nuanced tone that balances saturation and elegance, allowing the gem to present a bold presence without overpowering wearable proportions.

From a technical and educational perspective this spinel offers several attributes that an informed buyer will value, the mixed brilliant cut is chosen to harness spinel's refractive properties, producing lively scintillation and strong internal reflection, the excellent polish further enhances surface sparkle and tactile quality, and the transparency at 0.90 carat gives a pleasing window for color to display evenly. The clarity grade of slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates minor internal features that are visible under casual inspection but do not compromise structural integrity, indeed minor inclusions are common in fine spinel and can serve as internal fingerprints of natural origin.
