1.16 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we proudly present a stunning 1.16 carat greenish blue spinel, hailing from the renowned gemstone locale of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The craftsmanship involved in cutting this cushion-shaped gem ensures its luminous brilliance. With dimensions of 6.95 x 5.60 x 3.45 mm, the spinel exhibits a perfect balance of size and elegance, emplifying the vibrant hues that have garnered Ceylon gems a prestigious reputation. In comparison to spinels from other regions, this stone's unique greenish-blue tone emanates a depth akin to the rare peacock blue shades found in select Burmese spinels, yet it possesses a singular brightness and allure, making it particularly distinctive.

The mixed brilliant cut of this spinel accentuates its inherent luster and color intensity, rated as medium, offering an enchanting visual appeal. The very very slightly included clarity ensures that even the keenest eye would appreciate its near-flawless transparency without distraction. In the world of high-quality spinels, clarity is paramount, and this piece exemplifies the superior grade that collectors and connoisseurs seek. Spinels from other famous origins, such as Vietnam and Tanzania, may boast intense colors. However, the natural, unenhanced beauty of our Ceylon spinel stands unmatched, offering an authenticity that discerning gemstone enthusiasts will recognize and cherish.

Furthermore, its excellent polish guarantees a high sheen that outshines comparative stones treated with enhancements, positioning it as a preferable choice for those seeking natural purity. While spinels from alternative locations are often enhanced or treated to improve their appearance, our Ceylon spinel retains a natural enhancement-free charm. This characteristic enshrines not only its authenticity but also its inherent geological history, a key aspect many gemstone enthusiasts value highly. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are dedicated to offering gemstones that reflect superior quality, value, and uniqueness, and this exquisite Ceylon spinel truly encapsulates these traits, ensuring it remains a cherished possession for years to come.
