2.76 Ct. Pink Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pink spinel began its story deep in the timeworn gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where generations of miners have followed the riverbeds for stones that catch the light in just the right way. Hand recovered with care, this gem took shape over millennia before it reached the hands of master cutters. The cutter saw in the rough a promise of transparency and an even pink hue, and chose a mixed brilliant style to coax out the greatest possible sparkle and depth. The result is a transparent, oval shape spinel with a lively sparkle, an excellent polish, and a presence that feels both ancient and modern.

At the heart of this gem is its weight, 2.76 carat, a number that elevates this spinel from charming to truly noteworthy. Spinels in this color and clarity often become rare past the 2 carat mark, and at 2.76 carat this piece sits in a category where supply thins and value increases accordingly. The dimensions 9.44 by 7.72 by 5.20 mm give it a generous face up area, so the 2.76 carat weight translates to real visual impact on the finger, not just a technical measurement. With a clarity grade described as very very slightly included at eye level, and a medium color intensity that reads as an elegant rose pink under varied light, this spinel carries weight both physically and economically. Because it is untreated, no enhancement, collectors and connoisseurs prize it more, knowing that color and clarity are wholly natural, a hallmark of authenticity and long term value.

When you hold this gem you can feel the careful decisions that shaped it, from the origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka, to the cutter who balanced weight retention with optimal brilliance, to the final polish that releases every facet of color. This 2.76 carat oval spinel is ideal for a ring where the oval silhouette accentuates the stone length, or for a pendant that allows light to play through its mixed brilliant facets. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this spinel as a complete story, a rare weight, honest origin, and expert cutting that together make a gemstone meant to be cherished and passed on.
