2.40 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine sliding a treasure into a setting and feeling your breath catch, that is the promise of this radiant 2.40 carat oval purple spinel from The Natural Gemstone Company, a gem that feels like poetry in polished stone. Measuring 10.02 by 7.14 by 4.29 millimeters, its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish make every facet sing, sending lively flashes of violet light across the room. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means it has a natural, characterful presence while remaining clean to the casual observer, and its intense color intensity gives the stone a rich, velvety purple that reads as both regal and intimately personal. Untreated and natural, sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this spinel carries the quiet assurance of authenticity, a perfect heart for an engagement ring or a keepsake that will be handed down with a story.

When it comes to reflective qualities, this purple spinel stands apart in its family, offering a type of bright, mirror like brilliance that feels immediate and joyful. Compared to sapphire, which can show deeper, more layered color and subtle pleochroism, this spinel delivers a more even, lively sparkle across its crown, creating instant eye catching scintillation. Against garnet, which often offers rich color but a softer, more subdued shine, the spinel reads as brighter and more vivacious, with facets that return light with a quicker rhythm. Compared to White Opal, which delights with soft internal flashes of play of color and a dreamy, ethereal shimmer, this spinel offers a cleaner, more mirror like reflection that feels energetic and assured. The mixed brilliant cutting style amplifies that reflective personality, balancing broad flashes and small scintillating points so the gem performs beautifully under candlelight, sun, or the intimacy of everyday wear. Hold this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company and you are holding a moment of joy, a decision to celebrate love, and a brilliant companion that will keep reflecting your happiest memories for years to come.
