This listing presents a transparent blue spinel weighing 1.41 carats, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone is cut in a round shape with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement, and measures 7.04 x 7.08 x 4.29 mm. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the gem displays medium color intensity. The polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement. The spinel originates from Tanzania, a locality known for producing fine quality material with appealing tone and saturation.
Blue spinel of this size and tonal character is notably uncommon when compared to the broader market of spinel options. Blue spinels over one carat with a transparent body and a balanced medium intensity blue are rarer than the smaller or heavily saturated examples that are more frequently encountered. The combination of one point four one carats, a well executed mixed brilliant cut, and an unenhanced natural origin yields a gem that stands apart from typical commercial sizes and color grades. Slight inclusions visible at eye level are consistent with natural origin and do not detract from the gemmatic presence, while the excellent polish enhances light return and face up appeal. The measured dimensions indicate a well proportioned table and pavilion depth for a round mixed cut, contributing to even dispersion and scintillation under typical lighting.
This spinel is appropriate for a variety of settings, including solitaire ring applications and bespoke jewelry where a naturally colored blue centering stone is desired. Collectors and connoisseurs will note the provenance from Tanzania and the absence of enhancement, factors that support long term desirability and valuation stability. Photographs included show the gem at multiple angles and in hand for scale, illustrating the clarity, cut symmetry, and the discreet, elegant blue that differentiates it from more common pale or heavily saturated variants. For professional inquiries or detailed viewing arrangements, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide further gemological information and secure handling options.
