2.19 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are proud to offer a rare and arresting purple spinel that speaks to discerning collectors and tasteful gift-givers alike, one transparent 2.19 carat oval spinel, precisely cut to dimensions of 9.21 by 7.31 by 4.64 millimetres. This gem is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation and table brilliance, and it has been given an excellent polish that allows light to dance across every facet. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a subtle and natural fingerprint that affirms this stone is wholly natural and adds character rather than distraction. The color intensity is medium light, a soft yet distinctly purple hue that changes with light and viewing angle, and importantly this spinel has received no enhancement of any kind. Sourced from the storied deposits of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, this spinel carries a provenance and a pedigree that nods to centuries of lapidary admiration, and because such fine, untreated stones are seldom available, owning this piece places you among a select few with access to genuinely exceptional natural gems.

Imagine presenting this spinel as the centerpiece of a bespoke creation, how the mixed brilliant cut will catch evening lamplight and daylight in different measures, revealing flashes of violet and lilac that glow against warm or cool metals. Its 2.19 carat weight and oval outline make it versatile enough to command the central stage in a ring, yet refined enough to become a cherished pendant or an elegant pair of bespoke earrings. The medium light purple is flattering on many skin tones and pairs beautifully with rose gold for an intimate, vintage-inspired look or with platinum for a cool, modern statement. The very slightly included clarity at eye level means the gem reads as clean and transparent to the admirer at a glance while retaining the authenticity of a natural stone. For someone special, this spinel is more than jewelry, it is a symbol of singular attention, a thoughtful and striking gift that will be remembered for its rarity and for the way it appears to be chosen just for them.

Ownership of a gem like this from The Natural Gemstone Company is an invitation into an exclusive circle of collectors and connoisseurs who value genuineness, provenance, and the quiet luxury of untreated gemstones. Ceylon spinels of this caliber do not emerge from the earth often, and each piece we offer is carefully selected for its combination of weight, cut, color and polish. We can assist with bespoke mounting recommendations to enhance the stone’s optical properties and to create a setting that complements the wearer’s lifestyle and personal taste, whether that means a classic solitaire for daily signature wear or an artisan halo to accentuate its rare hue for special occasions. As a striking gift, it communicates intentionality and a refined eye, delivering a memorable unboxing moment and an heirloom-quality presence that will endure in both sentiment and style. If you seek a truly exceptional present that confers distinction without ostentation, this 2.19 carat Ceylon purple spinel is an invitation to give something singular, and we at The Natural Gemstone Company will be delighted to guide you through the custom design process to ensure the final piece reflects the exceptional nature of the gem itself.
