The blue spinel offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a remarkable specimen that captures the essence of geological marvels formed over millions of years. This transparent gem, weighing 1.67 carats, originates from the rich mineral deposits of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Over extensive periods, extreme conditions beneath the Earth's crust allowed this gemstone to undergo a fascinating transformation. High temperature and pressure facilitated the formation of this spinel deep within the Earth's mantle. Gradually, geological shifts brought it to the surface, aligning various elements in a precise natural dance, resulting in the exquisite gemstone we admire today.

The spinel's optical allure is enhanced by its mixed brilliant cut, a feature that ensures maximum reflection and refraction of light, offering an enchanting sparkle.

The clarity of this stone, rated as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, further tests to its impeccable quality. This clarity grade signifies that it contains a minimal number of inclusions, barely visible to the naked eye, thereby maintaining a remarkable level of transparency and purity.

Characterized by a medium color intensity, the blue spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company possesses a color balance that is neither too vivid nor too pale, striking a harmonious equilibrium that lends the gemstone its serene appeal. Its excellent polish ensures a flawlessly smooth surface, emphasizing the natural brilliance and enhancing its optical performance.
