Product description

This transparent violet spinel presented by The Natural Gemstone Company is a precise and finely finished example of the species, weighing 1.17 carats and fashioned into a radiant shape with dimensions of 6.58 x 5.58 x 3.71 mm. The stone exhibits a medium color intensity, a cool violet tone that is evenly distributed through the pavilion and crown. Clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from visual transparency or brilliance. The cutting style maximizes light return for this geometry, and the polish has been evaluated as excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and a lively surface finish. There has been no enhancement to this spinel, and its origin is documented as Ceylon Sri Lanka according to our sourcing records, a locality known for producing fine colored stones. Photographs provided illustrate scale and face up appearance for consideration in a tailored setting.

When compared to lab grown gemstones, natural spinel offers attributes that are distinct and often preferred by collectors and connoisseurs. Natural formation produces subtle, individual features in crystal growth and trace element profile that cannot be perfectly replicated in a laboratory environment, giving each natural stone an inherent fingerprint and a unique visual character. The absence of enhancements in this specimen preserves that natural character, and provenance from Ceylon adds a traceable context that many buyers value for historical and aesthetic reasons. From a practical perspective natural spinel has demonstrated consistent demand in the market for fine colored stones, and while lab grown alternatives provide cost efficiency and uniformity, they lack the geological rarity and individualization that support long term collector interest. For settings intended to emphasize craftsmanship and enduring appeal this unenhanced Sri Lankan violet spinel offers a balance of attractive color, refined clarity, and conscientious sourcing. The Natural Gemstone Company maintains detailed records of origin and treatment status to support informed purchasing decisions and to assist jewelers and clients in selecting a stone that aligns with both design goals and long term value considerations.
