1.05 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

From the heart of Tanzania where ancient geological forces folded and cooled over millennia, this blue spinel began its slow transformation into a jewel. Mined with care and respect for local communities, each rough stone was selected by experienced hands who understood the rare chemistry that produces this intense blue hue. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace its journey from those Tanzanian gravel beds to the skilled lapidary workshop, where the cutter chose an emerald cut to honor the stone s natural crystal proportions and to reveal its inner depth. The result is a transparent 1.05 carat blue spinel that carries the story of its origin in every facet, measured precisely at 6.34 by 5.24 by 3.47 millimeters, shaped to balance table size and step facets so light travels through it in a dance of calm blue reflections.

The workmanship is evident in every glance, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish that together create a gem that feels flawless from every angle. The emerald cut gives the stone broad, open facets that emphasize the purity of its transparency and the evenness of its color, while the very slightly included clarity ensures natural character without distracting from brilliance. Because this spinel is untreated, no enhancement, it presents its color and clarity exactly as the earth intended, and the excellent polish turns each facet into a mirror that amplifies depth and luster. On the hand the gem sits with dignified elegance, the measured proportions enhancing finger presence without overpowering a design, and the way it catches daylight and lamplight proves how flawless cutting and finishing elevate the inherent beauty of the material. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate such stones because they connect provenance, craftsmanship, and wearable beauty in a single piece, and we invite you to imagine this Tanzanian blue spinel set as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring or pendant that will carry its story forward for generations.
