This pear shaped purple spinel is a study in timeless elegance and storied origin, a gem that speaks to collectors who value history as much as beauty. Weighing 1.36 carats and measuring 8.50 by 5.86 by 4.03 mm, this transparent stone has been fashioned into a graceful pear silhouette with a mixed brilliant cut, designed to balance scintillation and face up color. Its intense purple hue recalls the regal tones long admired in Ceylonese gems, and the excellent polish reveals a lively play of light across its facets. The clarity is slightly included when viewed at eye level, which lends character and authenticity rather than detracting from its allure, and the stone is entirely natural with no enhancement, a rarity that enhances its appeal to purists and connoisseurs alike.
At The Natural Gemstone Company we are committed to ethical sourcing, and this spinel is no exception, traced to responsible origins in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, where artisanal mining communities are supported through fair practices.

Choosing this spinel means selecting a piece that can be worn with pride, knowing that its journey from mine to market adhered to practices that respect people and place.
