1.40 Ct. Spinel from Tanzania

Imagine lifting a little jewel that feels like the promise of a new beginning, a stone that seems to hold the ocean and the forest in one calm, arresting gaze. We are proud to present this beautiful transparent greenish blue spinel, a 1.40 carat gem cut into a poised and elegant emerald cut, with dimensions of 6.85 x 4.98 x 4.39 mm. Every facet has been shaped to catch the light and return it as a cool, intense color that draws the eye and the heart. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains a vivid transparency and a fresh, lively face, while its slight natural inclusions remind you that this is a genuine treasure formed over time. The polish is excellent, and the gem has received no enhancements of any kind, a pure gift from Tanzania, offered to you through The Natural Gemstone Company.

Think of the moments that matter most, and imagine this spinel set where it will be admired daily, a constant gentle reminder of love, joy, and shared memories. The emerald cut gives this gem a refined, architectural beauty, long facets that create flashes of color and light along crisp step cuts, making it ideal for a centerpiece in a ring, a pendant that rests near the heart, or a pair of striking earrings. Its intense color intensity is not loud, it is confident, quietly captivating, a color that can be worn with both casual mornings and formal evenings. The gem is transparent and lively, a stone that invites closer attention and rewards it, revealing a depth of hue that feels both timeless and rare. Gifting this spinel can become a ritual, a memory that deepens each time the stone catches the light and connects the giver and the wearer in a private, luminous moment.

Durability matters when you are choosing a gemstone that will join you in everyday life, and here this spinel excels. Spinel sits at eight on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which positions it as significantly more resistant to scratching than many popular gems such as quartz which is seven, yet not quite as hard as sapphire which is nine and diamond which is ten. What that means for you is practical and reassuring, spinel will stand up well to daily wear, it can take the place of more familiar stones in rings and bracelets with confidence, and it remains remarkably resilient during routine activities. At the same time, because there are harder materials in the world, it is wise to set the stone in a protective mounting when you expect heavy wear, and avoid contact with diamonds and sapphires during activities where hard knocks could occur. For care, simple loving maintenance will keep this stone glowing, clean it gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and when you are not wearing it store it away from other harder stones to prevent accidental abrasion.

When you choose this spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company you are choosing more than a beautiful object, you are choosing a story that began in Tanzania, a story of earth and time and human hands that cut and polished the stone until it shined. This gem arrives to you unenhanced, its color and clarity entirely natural, and its polish reflecting careful workmanship that honors the material. Imagine the joy of seeing this stone set into a design that celebrates a milestone, a birthday, an anniversary, a promise. Envision the quiet thrill it will give when it is noticed, the warm smile it will bring when it is gifted, the comfort of a beloved gem that feels like a companion across years. Our team is ready to help you envision settings, to advise on metals and mounting styles that protect and highlight the emerald cut, such as bezel or prong settings, and to guide you toward a piece that will live with you through everyday moments and extraordinary celebrations. Choose this 1.40 carat greenish blue emerald cut spinel, and allow The Natural Gemstone Company to help you create a lasting memory, a radiant expression of love and joy that will be cherished for generations.
