0.98 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a secret cradled by the earth for countless millennia. The region is renowned for its vibrant gemstones, each one whispering tales of ancient origins and transformation. This is the birthplace of our radiant blue spinel. Entwined in the roots of the island's rich geological textures, this gem emerges from a subterranean dance of mineral alchemy, where time and pressure conspire to birth crystalline wonders. Our artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company embark on a journey that honors the origins of this captivating creation from earth to elegance.

Upon extraction, the unrefined beauty of the spinel is immediately evident, glistening with potential and allure. Its journey is hardly complete as it moves from its raw, untamed form to an emblem of elegance and brilliance. The spinel is handed over to our skilled craftspeople who carefully examine its every angle. Their challenge and privilege is to harness this natural radiance and transform it using a precise geometric faceting technique that maximizes light play and enhances the gem’s natural features. With deft hands, they cut with the aim of unlocking realms of color and sparkles that lay dormant within.

The result is a masterful mixed brilliant cut, finely suited to a 0.98 carat blue spinel whose dimensions are 7.04 by 5.06 by 3.35 mm. Each carefully calculated angle and cleave is designed to present a dance of light that is striking and vivid. The radiant shape captures the imagination with its contemporary elegance. Its facets are like windows opened wide, inviting the eye to traverse surface and depth, allowing one's vision to dwell in that intense color untouched and pure. What emerges is a spectacle, a riot of luminosity and shades that reflect the azure depths and infinite sky.

The blue spinel's clarity is graded as very slightly included, a mark of its natural origin, with inclusions being only a minute whisper of the gem’s storied history. These subtle echoes of nature become part of the gem's character, accents within its tranquil depths and vibrant tones. The intensity of color radiates unapologetically, turning even the gentlest gaze into a full commitment of fascination. An excellent polish reflects countless hours of patient craftsmanship, ensuring that the gem's surface channels light with flawless grace.

The Natural Gemstone Company takes deep pride not only in the beauty unwrapped and polished from the stones of Ceylon but also in sharing the entwined stories — from earth to expert artisan, from the heart of basaltic soils to your cherished collection. Our blue spinel invites you, the discerning admirer, to partake in a story of transformation and endurance, a gemstone that is as much a piece of nature's history as it is a part of your own.
