1.13 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Beneath the ancient soils of Sri Lanka, where the lush landscapes meet the rhythmic ocean waves, time worked its wondrous magic to craft a beauty beyond compare. Millions of years ago, nestled deep within the earth’s embrace, a harmony of natural elements performed their silent, delicate dance. Here in the heart of Ceylon, under layers of earth untouched and unseen, a perfect gem was conceived. This remarkable purple spinel, however small in its dimensions, is a grand tale of time’s artistry and Mother Nature’s persistent patience, waiting in secret silence to reveal itself to the world.
