2.14 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.14 carat cushion shaped blue spinel is an exceptional example of natural material quality and craftsmanship, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. Precisely cut to 8.88 by 6.96 by 3.69 millimeters with a mixed brilliant pavilion and an expertly executed crown, the stone combines strong light return with deep color saturation. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning only minor inclusions are present and they do not materially affect the gem’s transparency or its lively brilliance. The vivid color intensity is a defining feature, presenting a saturated, sapphire-like blue that is evenly distributed throughout the gem. An excellent polish enhances the facet junctions and overall surface luster, while the absence of any enhancements confirms that the color and clarity are wholly natural. This spinel is independently certified, providing documented assurance of its characteristics and provenance.

Origin plays a critical role in the desirability and value of colored gemstones, and this spinel’s Ceylon provenance significantly elevates its appeal. Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon, has produced some of the world’s finest spinels and has a long reputation for yielding well-crystallized, richly colored material with good transparency. Collectors and educated buyers place a premium on Ceylon spinels because the geological conditions and established cutting traditions from the region often result in stones with superior hue and clarity. Beyond provenance, spinel’s inherent durability, with a Mohs hardness of about 8, makes this gem a practical choice for everyday jewelry settings such as engagement rings and pendants. For connoisseurs seeking an investment-quality, natural blue spinel with documented origin, vivid saturation, and no enhancements, this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company represents a rare combination of beauty, practicality, and verifiable pedigree.
