1.05 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting an exceptional natural treasure from The Natural Gemstone Company, a transparent 1.05 carat heart shape spinel in an enchanting purplish blue tone, measuring 6.05 by 6.92 by 3.70 mm. This gem has been masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes its fire and scintillation, and its intense color intensity catches the eye with a depth that is rarely encountered in this size. The stone is unenhanced, untouched by treatments, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historic source of the finest spinels. With an excellent polish and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this heart shaped spinel combines technical precision with natural character, making it a piece for the discerning collector who seeks an authentic and singular expression of color and form.

What sets this spinel apart are the internal inclusions, which in this specimen serve as natural identifiers that elevate rather than diminish its value. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, these fine internal features are subtle and reveal themselves only to careful observation, acting as a gemologist would say, like a fingerprint. These delicate inclusions speak to the stone’s natural growth history, preserving the story of the crystalline environment within which the spinel formed. Rather than obscuring brilliance, they provide a unique texture to the light and color, catching and refracting light in ways that make the stone appear alive and dynamic. The presence of these natural markers offers reassurance of authenticity and provenance, qualities prized by collectors who prefer a gem that is unmistakably natural, and not a laboratory enhanced imitation. For those who value traceable individuality, these inclusions can be recorded and used for identification in certificates and insurance documentation, ensuring that this gem remains a verifiable and beloved asset.
