3.85 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite pear shape spinel offered by The Natural Gemstone Company stands apart from the crowd, a beautiful transparent 3.85 carat gem with dimensions of 14.01 x 8.44 x 4.74 mm. Unlike many market alternatives that arrive heat treated or color enhanced, this spinel is completely natural with no enhancement, and originates from the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka. Its pinkish purple hue is intense and pure, a color saturation that rivals the finest examples yet remains distinct from amethyst and garnet because spinel presents its color with a clarity and depth that feels both modern and timeless. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to exacting standards, and the excellent polish ensures each facet interacts with light to produce a lively, multi tonal display. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which translates into a visually clean stone that holds brilliance across the entire surface, a quality that is often missing in stones of comparable size on the open market.

Viewed from every angle, the craftsmanship and material quality of this spinel elevate its beauty to a level that makes it an immediate focal point in any setting. The pear shape is inherently graceful, tapering to a refined point and offering a flattering silhouette on the finger or in a pendant, while the mixed brilliant cut balances scintillation with broad flash, capturing both pinpoint sparkle and expansive color play. Because the stone is transparent and minimally included, light travels through with minimal obstruction, producing consistent saturation from table to pavilion and a face up presence that reads larger than its carat weight might suggest. Compared with lower grade stones that rely on heavy cutting or coatings to simulate brilliance, this gem reveals true optical performance, with crisp facet junctions and an excellent polish that maximizes light return. The result is a gem that looks flawless in hand held images and even more impressive when set, because the surface quality and internal cleanliness do not compete with the setting, they complement it.

From a value and rarity perspective this spinel demonstrates clear advantages over many alternatives available today. Large, intensely colored spinels from Ceylon are uncommon, especially in an untreated state, and the 3.85 carat weight combined with the generous 14.01 x 8.44 x 4.74 mm dimensions offers remarkable presence without sacrificing wearability. Compared to heat treated sapphires and color enhanced stones which often command similar prices but require ongoing disclosure, this natural spinel delivers authenticity and longevity. Its durability makes it suitable for everyday wear in high quality jewelry, and because the stone is untreated, the color and clarity are stable, providing long term value to discerning buyers. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are proud to present this pinkish purple spinel as a superior choice for those who want a rare, untreated gem with outstanding cutting and polish, a stone that enhances its setting through purity of color and precision of finish, and a piece that will remain a meaningful and wearable treasure for years to come.
