2.07 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.07 carat cushion shape blue spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare combination of intensity and refinement, presented in dimensions of 8.54 x 6.61 x 4.50 mm, transparent, with an intense color and excellent polish. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this spinel has been heat treated to enhance tone and saturation, and its clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is common in natural spinels and does not detract from the gem s overall presence. Compared with typical commercial sapphires and more common blue gems, this Ceylon spinel offers a distinctive hue that sits between classic cornflower blue and deeper indigo, with a brightness that feels both modern and timeless. Versus mass market stones that are heavily treated or synthetic, this natural, heat treated spinel retains authentic character and resale value due to its provenance and transparent nature.

The mixed brilliant cut and cushion outline work together to maximize the stone s optical performance, giving it superior light return and scintillation compared with plain step cuts or poorly proportioned cushions. The mixed brilliant approach places a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown to capture and refract incoming light, while balanced pavilion facets channel that light back through the table with lively flashes and controlled dispersion. The slightly deeper pavilion and well judged table in this specimen concentrate the intense color toward the center, producing a three dimensional depth and a lively play of light that elevates perceived size and richness. Excellent polish minimizes surface light leakage, so each facet mirror contributes to contrast and sparkle, making the stone read brighter on the finger than many stones of similar weight and color. For buyers seeking a durable, wearable alternative to softer blues or heavily included gems, this spinel offers superior toughness, consistent color, and a cut optimized for brilliance, making it an ideal choice for a standout solitaire or a refined halo setting, only from The Natural Gemstone Company.
