1.40 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting a singular, transparent 1.40 carat cushion shape bluish grey spinel, measuring 9.21 by 5.21 by 3.15 mm, masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut and finished with an excellent polish. Its medium color intensity reveals a sophisticated steel blue grey that shifts with light, while a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level ensures a clean visual field that radiates depth and luster. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this untreated gem carries the rare distinction of no enhancement, a testament to its natural purity and inherent beauty. The restrained cushion silhouette coupled with expert faceting creates a stone that glows with internal fire, making it equally suited to a statement solitaire or as the refined centerpiece of a bespoke high jewelry composition.

Beyond its captivating appearance, this spinel offers enduring practicality for daily wear, with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale and notable toughness that resists chipping and abrasion in everyday settings. When set with secure prongs or a protective bezel, it withstands the demands of an active life, sustaining its polish and brilliance, and becoming a faithful companion to those who value elegance and resilience. For collectors who enjoy harmony in contrast, consider pairing this piece with a White Opal for a duet of cool metallic tone and soft opalescent glow, the White Opal bringing a luminous, creamy body and delicate play of color that complements the spinel without overpowering it. Every element of this gemstone speaks to refined taste, and The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to claim this Ceylon spinel as a symbol of achievement, a rare jewel that announces your discerning eye, and an heirloom destined to carry your signature style for generations.
