2.14 Ct. Greenish Blue Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent greenish blue spinel weighs two point one four carats, and measures seven point nine three by nine point nine two by five point one one millimeters, presenting a carefully considered fancy shape that balances visual presence with wearable proportions. Cut in a faceted, step cut style, the pavilion and crown exhibit broad tiered facets that emphasize depth of color and create dramatic, broad flashes of tone rather than a profusion of small scintillation. The cutter maintained a balanced crown height and pavilion depth to avoid windowing, and facet junctions are crisp which promotes consistent light return across the table. The dark color intensity gives the stone a saturated, jewel rich appearance, while the transparent material and excellent polish allow subtle internal reflections and an inner glow to emerge when viewed under focused light. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, with inclusions negligible to practical observation, preserving the integrity of the step cut planes and the overall visual continuity of the gem.

This spinel is untreated, with no enhancement, and is documented as originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing deeply colored, high quality spinels. The combination of the step faceting and the natural, dense hue makes this piece ideal as a centerpiece gem for a bespoke ring, a statement pendant, or a museum quality collection sample, especially where the wearer or collector seeks a strong, architectural presence rather than overt brilliance. The exceptional polish enhances facet crispness and surface luster, allowing the gem to read as a refined and mature specimen in any setting. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize exacting cutting and ethical sourcing, and this greenish blue spinel exemplifies our commitment to precision in faceting, to authentic color expression, and to presenting stones that perform visually as intended by the cutter and the gemological origin.
