3.19 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This extraordinary purplish pink cushion spinel, a transparent 3.19 carat gem measuring 10.45 by 8.34 by 4.90 millimeters, is presented to a discerning few by The Natural Gemstone Company, as an opportunity to own a truly rare, unenhanced treasure from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Cut in a mixed brilliant style and finished to an excellent polish, this spinel reveals a medium intense color that shifts between refined rose and regal violet as it catches the light. Its clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a level of purity that allows for radiant, uninterrupted reflections across its facets, while still carrying the unique character that distinguishes naturally sourced, untreated stones. Offered without enhancement, and in this exceptional size and shape, this gem is not a mass-produced option, it is a bespoke selection for collectors and connoisseurs who understand the value of provenance, natural beauty, and the confident restraint of a stone that does not need alteration to shine.

When placed alongside more common gemstones this spinel consistently stands apart, its brilliance combining lively sparkle with a depth of color that reads as both sophisticated and unmistakably luxurious. Unlike many frequently seen gems such as tourmalines or garnets, which can be softer in tone or less reflective in complex lighting, this Ceylon spinel exhibits a concentrated, crisp scintillation from its mixed brilliant cut that returns light with exceptional clarity. Compared with rubies and sapphires, which are often subject to heat treatment and color enhancement, this natural spinel offers a purer story, a clarity and polish that can make it appear more lively and modern, while its natural, medium intense purplish pink hue occupies a rarer color category, admired for its versatility and elegance. For those who seek a high-impact stone that is also durable and refined, this spinel delivers both show-stopping presence and subtlety, making it a superior choice for a centerpiece ring or bespoke commission. There are only a handful of stones of this quality available at any time, and The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to claim this rare Ceylon spinel, to wear it, to design with it, and to join the exclusive circle of collectors who appreciate gemstones that tell an honest, unretouched story.
