2.15 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moss lined slopes of Ceylon Sri Lanka this purple spinel began its life as a whisper of color in the earth, discovered by experienced hands who know how to read the subtle clues of a hidden deposit. It traveled from open pits and narrow tunnels into the careful sorting rooms of local workshops where rough crystals were studied for their potential. This particular stone of 2.15 carat showed an exceptional combination of clarity and color, and it was chosen for a radiant cut that would honor both its fire and its hue. Skilled lapidaries worked the crystal to dimensions 8.20 by 5.72 by 5.19 mm polishing each facet to an excellent finish, preserving the natural integrity of a gem that is free of enhancement. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level which allows light to dance through the gem without distraction, and the intense color intensity hits the eye with a regal purple that moves between velvet and flame depending on the angle. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate the full story of this stone from mine to masterful cut, noting the provenance in Ceylon Sri Lanka as part of its living history.

Beyond its physical beauty this purple spinel carries a long tradition of metaphysical value that many collectors and wearers find compelling. Historically associated with protection and renewal the purple tone of spinel has been thought to open pathways of intuition and inner clarity, inviting the wearer to move through uncertainty with courage and balance. Many people report that spinel supports emotional resilience by calming turbulent thoughts while simultaneously stimulating creative insight, making it a companion for artists leaders and anyone undergoing personal transformation. Placed near the crown or third eye it is said to enhance meditative states and deepen spiritual connection, while worn close to the heart it can remind one of strength grounded in compassion. For those who appreciate ritual simple care such as gentle moonlight cleansing or a brief rinse in running water is often recommended to refresh its energy without altering its natural surface. This radiant purple spinel from Sri Lanka is more than a jewel, it is a story held in color and light ready to become part of your life through The Natural Gemstone Company.
