This stone began its journey deep in the classic gem gravel fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where experienced miners and local pickers guided by generations of knowledge recovered rough spinel fragments from alluvial beds. Each rough was hand evaluated for its potential to reveal a rare violet hue, and this piece was chosen for transparency and tone rather than size alone. It travelled next to cutting and polishing artisans who specialize in maximizing brilliance from spinel, where the decision to fashion a princess shape was made to emphasize symmetry and face up size. The cutter worked to balance pavilion depth and crown angles to preserve weight while delivering crisp facet intersections and an excellent polish, resulting in the measured dimensions and the pleasing light color intensity you see. After cutting, the gem received a thorough inspection confirming the clarity as very very slightly included at eye level, and a final review at The Natural Gemstone Company verified the origin and the absence of treatments before the stone was photographed and prepared for offering.

For a customer who wants assurance that their search ends with the right gem, this violet spinel provides clarity in both appearance and provenance, and wears beautifully on the finger as shown in the reference images. Its size and princess shape make it an ideal candidate for a modern solitaire, a delicate halo, or a statement collector mount, and its unheated, natural status gives you long term confidence in value and authenticity. If you desire a gem that combines Sri Lankan heritage, precise cutting, and a calm violet presence, this spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company is crafted to meet that moment.
