1.20 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we pride ourselves on offering gemstones that not only captivate the eye but also withstand the test of time. Our exquisite transparent 1.20 carat purple spinel sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka is a prime example of this commitment. This gemstone's appealing oval shape, measuring 7.51 x 6.05 x 3.75 mm, boasts a mixed brilliant cut, enhancing its unique luster and ensuring that it stands out among other gemstones on the market. The spinel's very slight inclusions are evaluated at eye level, confirming its remarkably high clarity that rivals even some of the finest sapphires.

Spinels are known for their incredible durability, and our purple spinel is no exception, ranking at an impressive 8 on the Mohs scale. This level of hardness renders it more resilient to scratching compared to gemstones like topaz and tanzanite, which makes our spinel not only visually stunning but also practical for everyday wear. Whether set in a ring or a pendant, its enduring quality ensures that it will retain its pristine appearance, making it a wise investment for any jewelry collection.

What sets this spinel apart is its very light color intensity combined with an excellent polish. The result is a gemstone that exhibits a soft yet vivid lavender hue, making it more versatile than the commonly deep-colored amethysts or darker garnets. This subtle coloration is perfect for those who wish to enjoy a gemstone that complements a wide variety of settings and wardrobe styles, embodying elegance and grace without overpowering your look.

In addition to its esteemed quality and beauty, the origin of this spinel from Ceylon, a renowned source for some of the world's most coveted gemstones, adds to its allure and value. Comparatively rare and distinct, Ceylon spinels have a heritage of being highly desired by gemstone connoisseurs and collectors alike. By choosing this spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company, you are not just purchasing a gem; you are acquiring a piece of a rich tradition that enhances the significance of your jewelry piece.
