2.40 Ct. Grey Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.40 carat cushion shape grey spinel measures 8.43 x 6.59 x 5.07 mm, and it is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that integrates both brilliant and step facet arrangements to balance scintillation and color presentation. The stone exhibits medium color intensity, an even grey tone through the crown and table, and an excellent polish that yields a clean surface finish and crisp facet junctions. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and no enhancement has been applied, confirming the stone is presented in its natural state. This spinel originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and The Natural Gemstone Company provides full disclosure of its provenance and treatment status.

The slightly included clarity of this spinel presents a collection of natural internal features that function as unique identifiers, adding to the gem's character rather than diminishing its value. These inclusions manifest as fine mineral crystals and subtle growth zoning, common indicators of natural formation, and they create an internal fingerprint that supports origin verification and identity. Because the gem is transparent and the cutting emphasizes the table, these features can be observed under magnification and occasionally at certain angles to the unaided eye, producing delicate internal textures that interact with light. The mixed brilliant cutting strategy frames these features in a way that preserves carat weight while optimizing visual performance, and the excellent polish ensures the table and facets allow clear inspection of the interior.

From a practical standpoint the combination of weight, dimensions, and cut make this cushion grey spinel suitable for a range of settings that highlight its table and pavilion proportions, and its natural, unenhanced status appeals to clients seeking authenticity and traceable origin. The stone’s internal characteristics serve as a permanent record of its geological history, useful for identification and appraisal, and The Natural Gemstone Company can provide detailed imagery and documentation upon request. This presentation is intended to offer a clear, factual account of the gem’s qualities, enabling informed selection based on measurable attributes and verified natural character.
