2.21 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are dedicated to offering gemstones of unparalleled quality and authenticity, and our exquisite 2.21 carat Asscher-cut blue spinel is a prime example of our commitment. This remarkable gemstone, sourced from the enchanting lands of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), boasts a transparency that is truly breathtaking. Its precise dimensions of 7.64 x 7.37 x 4.56 mm speak to the careful craftsmanship that has gone into cutting and polishing this magnificent stone. As an Asscher-cut gemstone, it offers a unique octagonal shape that is reminiscent of the Art Deco era, characterized by its captivating symmetry and timeless elegance.

What sets this blue spinel apart from the flock is not only its natural origin but also its superior quality and remarkable clarity. Unlike lab-grown gemstones, which are fabricated in controlled environments, this natural spinel was formed deep within the Earth's crust over millennia, developing its splendid color and brilliance naturally. The intense, yet dark, color intensity of this spinel is genuinely eye-catching, ensuring that it stands out whether used in a statement jewelry piece or as a collector's gem. An eye-clean clarity grade signifies that the gemstone has no visible inclusions or imperfections when examined at eye level, enhancing its allure and ensuring it sparkles with every bit of light it encounters.

Indeed, the origin of this gemstone further adds to its distinct value. Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) is renowned as a historic source of some of the world's most sought-after gemstones, including sapphires and, of course, spinels. The unique geological conditions of this tropical island have endowed it with a rich variety of minerals that produce gemstones of exceptional quality. By acquiring a spinel from Sri Lanka, buyers are not merely purchasing a gem; they are gaining a piece of geological history that holds the mystique and allure of its place of origin. The combination of the gemstone's provenance and its physical characteristics contributes to its stature as a highly desirable asset for discerning collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike.

When assessing the merits of natural stones like our blue spinel compared to their lab-grown counterparts, educated buyers often consider the intangible attributes associated with authenticity, rarity, and heritage. Natural spinels, such as this one, carry a narrative that encompasses the wonder of the natural world, from tectonic movements to volcanic activity, culminating in the breathtaking beauty vested within each stone. In contrast, lab-grown gemstones, while perfect in their uniformity, lack the uniqueness and soul that only a naturally formed gem can embody. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we pride ourselves on presenting gemstones that are as unique and storied as the individuals who seek them, ensuring that each acquisition is not just a purchase but a lifelong investment in beauty and authenticity.
