2.95 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing describes a single, natural spinel from Ceylon Sri Lanka, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The gem weighs 2.95 carats and is fashioned into an oval shape with exact dimensions of 10.65 x 8.32 x 4.41 mm. The body color is a greenish blue with vivid intensity, and the material is transparent throughout, allowing light to travel cleanly through the stone. The cut is a mixed brilliant style, chosen to balance scintillation with color saturation, and the finish has been evaluated as excellent polish. The clarity has been assessed at eye level as very very slightly included, and the stone has received no enhancement, remaining in its natural state from mine to market.

The mixed brilliant cut incorporates both pavilion and crown faceting strategies that enhance return of white light while preserving the depth of color inherent to this greenish blue spinel. At the quoted dimensions the table and crown proportions produce a lively faceted surface that yields both pinpoint flashes and broader areas of color. The excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and minimal light leakage, which together accentuate the gem attributes rather than obscure them. Clarity described as very very slightly included at eye level indicates that inclusions are minute and do not materially affect the stone’s face up appearance under normal viewing conditions, and the transparency of the material ensures that the vivid color and internal brightness remain the primary visual effects.

Spinel is a robust gem species with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, and that practical durability makes a gem of this size suitable for a wide range of wearable applications. The 2.95 carat weight and the oval proportions present a presence that reads as substantial without being unwieldy, allowing for both statement and classic uses. Given the vivid greenish blue hue, the stone can function as a distinctive center for a ring, pendant, or cocktail piece where the chromatic richness becomes the focal point. The natural, untreated origin enhances the stone’s appeal for clients who prioritize geological authenticity, and provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka aligns with a known historical source of high quality spinel material.

The color itself warrants particular attention as an emblem of personal power and distinction. The greenish blue tone combines cool composure with a hint of verdant vitality, producing a color impression that is both authoritative and refined. Vivid intensity gives the gem a saturated presence that commands visual attention without relying on excessive size, which is an attribute often associated with personal gravitas. In style terms the stone conveys a composed confidence, working equally well with restrained, modern settings and with more traditional, layered designs where contrast enhances the gem’s saturation. Pairing with white diamonds will emphasize scintillation and clarity, pairing with warm metals such as yellow gold will enrich the green undertone, and pairing with cooler metals will emphasize the blue aspect, allowing the wearer to tailor the impression of distinction to their own aesthetic.
