At 1.12 carats and with dimensions of 6.00 x 6.01 x 4.38 mm, its allure is undeniable, boasting a size that is perfect for statement pieces while retaining an ageless elegance.

One of the distinctive elements of our purple spinel is its hardness on the Mohs scale, a critical factor in determining the durability and longevity of a gemstone.

This characteristic ensures that our spinel is well-suited for everyday wear, offering peace of mind that its enchanting facade will endure through life's adventures and milestones without losing its luster or acquiring unsightly scratches.

In addition to its impressive durability, the quality of our purple spinel further distinguishes it from other options on the market. The stone features a mixed brilliant cut expertly fashioned to enhance its ability to reflect light, thereby amplifying its inherent vibrancy. Paired with a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this gemstone boasts an almost flawless visage. Its careful cutting and minimal inclusions ensure that light passes through the stone uninterrupted, spotlighting its exceptional brilliance and creating an ethereal glow much sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Furthermore, The Natural Gemstone Company prides itself on sourcing gems of certified origin.

The island’s rich volcanic soils imbue gemstones with their striking hues and patterns, which are augmented by centuries of refined craftsmanship.
