4.08 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hold this 4.08 carat cushion shape greenish blue spinel in your imagination, and feel an instant surge of wonder, for this gem captures a moment of ocean calm and tropical sky in a single radiant stone, measured precisely at 9.42 by 8.86 by 5.94 millimeters. Cut in a thoughtful mixed brilliant style, each facet was arranged to coax out a vivid color intensity and to maximize scintillation, while an excellent polish yields surfaces that sing when light moves across them. Evaluated as eye clean at eye level, this transparent spinel presents a pure window into nature, free from any distractions for the bare eye, yet alive with subtle complexity when examined more closely. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka and enhanced by careful heat treatment to stabilize and deepen its hue, this gem blends provenance, craftsmanship, and natural beauty into an heirloom quality treasure that carries both authenticity and refinement.

What gives this spinel an unmistakable signature are the delicate, natural internal features that sit just beneath the surface, like a secret melody waiting to be heard. Though the gem is eye clean without magnification, under gentle magnification it reveals a lace of microscopic crystal inclusions and minute silk like threads, arranged in whisper fine patterns that catch light and scatter it into dancing flashes of green and blue. These internal accents are not blemishes, they are character, they are the fingerprint of formation in the earth that tells the story of slow cooling, shifting pressures, and the unique environment of its Ceylon origin. You will notice faint growth zoning that creates soft transitions in tone and a subtle play between teal and indigo hues as the stone rotates, a living depth that no synthetic imitation can truly replicate. These natural inclusions bring warmth and individuality, they create tiny focal points of brilliance that shimmer at different angles, and they ensure that no two views of the gem are ever identical, making this stone a signature piece that will always feel personal.

Imagine presenting this spinel to someone you love, or placing it into a setting that transforms it into a daily talisman of joy.

This 4.08 carat cushion spinel will sit beautifully at the center of a ring, it will anchor a pendant with confident color, and it will add a refined but spirited note to bespoke creations.
