1.05 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the mystic hills of Ceylon, where the earth hums with ancient magic and untold stories, emerges a gemstone so rare and exquisite that it commands attention and admiration. Our captivating 1.05 carat oval-shaped pinkish-purple spinel was born from the heart of Sri Lanka, a land renowned for its vibrant gems. Bedded deep within the ground, this spinel has matured over millennia, absorbing the rich minerals and energies surrounding it. Miners delicately unearthed it, preserving its natural allure and preparing it for the delicate crafting hands that would shape its destiny. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we embrace this legacy, cherishing the opportunity to share such a remarkable stone with the world.

This spinel, with its mixed brilliant cut and immaculate eye-clean clarity, harks back to legendary jewels like the famous Black Prince’s Ruby. As with these historic stones, our spinel exudes an aura of grandiosity and exquisiteness, capturing light and revealing a symphony of hues. Unlike any ruby or amethyst, its unique pinkish-purple glow enchants, standing as a testament to nature’s sensational artistry. Each flicker within its depths speaks of eons past, bridging time through its medium color intensity and excellent polish. As the light plays across its surface, it reveals a spectrum of emotions and possibilities locked within. Every facet tells a tale of passion and brilliance.

What sets this spinel apart is its rarity. While historically spinels were often mistaken for other gemstones, they possess distinct beauty and character unmatched by any other. The elegance of the spinel invites comparison to storied gems such as the famed Timur Ruby, yet it holds its podium in unique splendor. The stones of Ceylon have long been celebrated for their purity and distinctive brilliance, and this gemstone embodies those qualities seamlessly woven with elegance and depth. It’s the perfect gem for those seeking a combination of historical charm and contemporary elegance.

In the fine craftsmanship with which The Natural Gemstone Company fashions this spinel, one can see the lineage of its journey from the depths of Ceylon’s earth to the hands of artisans who appreciate and understand its value.
