1.00 Ct. Purple Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional transparent 1.00 carat round purple spinel, measuring 5.97 x 5.98 x 4.17 mm, is a rare and distinguished example of Sri Lankan gemmology, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for some of the finest spinel specimens in the world. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies its brilliance and scintillation, producing crisp flashes of light through an excellent polish that speaks to meticulous lapidary skill. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level, this spinel reads as practically eye clean, offering the clarity collectors prize while retaining the natural characteristics that testify to its authenticity. The light color intensity is a subtle and sophisticated purple, rarer in this size for comparable stones, because most spinels of this weight show deeper or more muted tones. The combination of true transparency, a precise round outline, and a pure purple hue in a one carat stone creates a visual presence that is both delicate and arresting, a quality seldom encountered among mixed brilliant cuts of this exact dimension and origin, and notable for being completely free of enhancement.
