4.55 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You have been searching for a gemstone that combines rarity, presence, and the reliability to be worn every day, and this greenish blue spinel answers that search with quiet confidence. This transparent oval gem weighs 4.55 carats, and it measures 11.25 by 8.70 by 6.07 millimeters, making it a substantial yet elegant size for a center stone in an engagement ring, a striking pendant, or a distinguished collector piece. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to exceptional standards, creating lively internal reflections and a deep play of color that reveals blue and green tones under different lighting, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and lasting luster. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, so the stone presents a clean appearance to the naked eye, while retaining the natural character that collectors prize. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the gem has no enhancement, so you receive a truly natural spinel exactly as it crystallized beneath the earth, a fact we at The Natural Gemstone Company emphasize and stand behind.

Durability is a defining strength of spinel, and this particular stone is ideal for daily wear because of both its intrinsic properties and its fine cutting. Spinel rates eight on the Mohs scale of hardness, which means it resists scratches from everyday materials that would mar softer gems, and it demonstrates strong toughness with no prominent cleavage planes to make it vulnerable to chips from normal knocks. The combination of a robust hardness, a stable crystal structure, and an unenhanced natural state means this greenish blue spinel will endure repeated handling and the small impacts that come with rings, bracelets, and everyday pendants. Its mixed brilliant cut concentrates brilliance toward the table while providing protective crown angles, making it forgiving in settings that receive frequent contact. The excellent polish contributes not only to beauty, but also to long term wearability, because a well polished surface resists dirt buildup and can be restored with routine professional cleaning without altering the gem.

When customers bring their desire for an engagement ring, an heirloom creation, or an addition to a curated collection, they want assurance that the gem will still dazzle in years to come, and few stones deliver that assurance as elegantly as this spinel. For engagement rings, a secure four or six prong setting will showcase the oval outline and allow light to enter freely, while a bezel style offers maximum protection for an active lifestyle without sacrificing presence. As a pendant or as part of a pair of drop earrings, the substantial 4.55 carat weight gives instant visual impact, and the dark color intensity provides versatility against warm or cool metal tones. Collectors will appreciate the unenhanced origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the stone will sit well alongside other natural specimens as a display jewel or investment piece. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are focused on matching the right gem to your intent, whether you seek a durable everyday stone for an engagement ring, a resilient showpiece for daily wear, or a rare natural spinel to elevate your collection, and this greenish blue oval spinel answers those needs with a compelling blend of beauty, substance, and practicality.
