0.92 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Amidst the rich tapestry of Earth's natural treasures, few gems possess the storied legacy and timeless elegance of spinel. Bearing a noble lineage, the pink spinel's history stretches back through the annals of time, captivating the imaginations of royals and gem enthusiasts alike. Today, The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents a remarkable specimen from this illustrious tradition: a 0.92 carat pear-shaped pink spinel, sourced from the legendary gem-rich island of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. This rare gem, with dimensions of 7.87 x 5.36 x 3.48 mm, is a testament to the unrivaled allure and historical significance of spinel as a centerpiece in jewelry collections through the ages.

The pink spinel's delicate hue evokes the soft blush of dawn reflected in the tranquil waters of a pristine isle. Its radiant light color intensity conjures images of cherry blossoms unfurling their petals in the gentle spring breeze. This particular variety of spinel offers a unique allure, reminiscent yet distinctive from the saturated shades of pink sapphires from Madagascar or the vibrant tones of tourmalines from Brazil. With its subtle yet captivating hue, it speaks to the discerning collector who values the nuanced gradations of color that only nature can craft. When compared to the deeper reds of spinels from the renowned mines of Mogok in Myanmar, the Ceylon spinel offers a more reserved allure, understated yet undeniably arresting in its charm.

Beyond its enchanting color, this pink spinel is extraordinary for its craftsmanship. The mixed brilliant cut, skillfully executed to highlight the stone's natural beauty, ensures that light dances across its surface, releasing a sparkling symphony of facets. This precise craftsmanship, combined with an excellent polish, makes it a coveted possession for those who appreciate the meticulous artistry involved in gemstone cutting. The clarity grade of very very slightly included ensures that the beholder's eye is drawn towards its vibrant depths rather than any imperfection. This high clarity, matched with its refined shape and exquisite cut, creates a harmonious display of luminosity that elevates any piece of jewelry into an heirloom worthy of being passed down through generations.
