0.94 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the ancient lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, begins the story of our exquisite pinkish purple spinel. Born from the embrace of the earth, this 0.94 carat marvel was formed over centuries, hidden away in the rugged terrains and lush landscapes. Ceylon, a region celebrated for its rich mineral deposits, has long been revered for producing gemstones of unmatched beauty and brilliance. Our spinel inherits this esteemed heritage, its transparent body capturing the essence of sunlight over rolling hills and the gentle blush of the twilight sky.

The journey from earth to elegance is one of transformation and meticulous craftsmanship. The rough crystal, with dimensions of 8.13 x 5.43 x 3.32 mm, was entrusted to skilled hands that honored its natural form. Through masterful artistry, it was shaped into a pear-cut gemstone, a testament to human ingenuity and the power to unveil nature’s hidden splendors. This particular mixed brilliant cut accentuates the gem’s inherent light, allowing it to radiate with medium intensity and eye-clean clarity. Reminding us of soft amethyst tones, peppered with a unique vibrancy, it reflects not just light but history, tales of royal courts and traditional ceremonies where gemstones like this graced the gatherings.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we continue the legacy of connecting individuals to the earth’s finest creations. This spinel holds an excellent polish, an attribute reflecting our commitment to preserving its natural allure while ensuring it meets the highest standards of elegance.

Let its story resonate with you, drawing you into the narrative that links earth and sky, past and present. Our gemstones invite you into a world of wonder, crafted not just with precision but with an understanding of the stories they carry.
