1.19 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.19 carat oval shape greenish blue spinel awaits you, with dimensions of 7.57 by 5.50 by 3.71 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut that delivers scintillation and depth, a clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, dark color intensity, and an excellent polish. This gem shows the calm and mysterious blend of blue and green hues that make Ceylon spinel so prized, and it is offered with no enhancement, exactly as nature intended. The oval outline gives a flattering length to width ratio that maximizes visual size on the hand, and the mixed brilliant faceting balances lively sparkle across the crown with a deep, velvety window of color from the pavilion. For those who appreciate naturally strong color and fine cutting, this 1.19 carat spinel is a rare combination of hue, clarity, and finish, sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a classic origin for some of the world’s most desirable colored stones. When you hold this gem, the first impression is of a jewel that both speaks softly and commands attention, ideal for a centerpiece that must perform under every light without the need for treatment.

Imagine this greenish blue spinel set as the focal point of an engagement ring or an heirloom pendant, its dark intensity lending an air of sophistication and timelessness. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to preserve weight and color while producing lively facets that catch the eye, making it a stunning candidate for a solitaire or a halo setting, paired with warm yellow gold to bring out green tones, or with cool platinum to emphasize the blue elements. The oval shape sits comfortably on the finger and lengthens the appearance of the digit, which is why many of our clients at The Natural Gemstone Company choose ovals for engagement rings that must look elegant and wearable every day. Because this spinel is transparent and very slightly included at eye level, light travels through the stone and returns with beautiful flashes of teal and deep ocean blue, giving a gemstone that reads larger than its carat weight might suggest. Collectors will value its natural state and provenance from Ceylon, and bespoke designers will appreciate the ease with which this gem can be integrated into modern, vintage, or minimalist settings.

Beyond its physical beauty, spinel carries a long tradition of metaphysical associations that appeal to those who seek a meaningful connection with their gems. Spinel is often regarded as a stone of revitalization and renewal, believed to infuse wearers with fresh energy and the courage to embrace change. The greenish blue coloration of this particular spinel bridges heart and throat energy, making it especially suited to balancing emotional resilience with clear communication. Many crystal enthusiasts say that green tones stimulate healing and compassion, while blue tones calm the nervous system and enhance truthful expression, which together create a supportive environment for honest conversations and the mending of strained relationships. Spinel is also traditionally thought to boost vitality, reduce feelings of burnout, and inspire confidence in creative and professional endeavors, qualities that make this gem a thoughtful choice for someone beginning a new chapter, be it an engagement, a career shift, or a personal transformation. These attributes are described as part of cultural and spiritual traditions and are not intended as medical advice.
