5.24 Ct. Pink Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptionally transparent 5.24 carat oval pink spinel measures 11.04 x 9.18 x 6.48 mm, featuring a mixed brilliant cut that has been expertly faceted to maximize light return and scintillation. The gem displays an intense color intensity, a lively pink hue with excellent saturation that reads strongly face up, making it a rare and desirable size for collectors and fine jewelry designers. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor inclusions that do not materially affect transparency or brilliance, and the polish is rated excellent which contributes to sharp facet junctions and lively sparkle. Importantly, this spinel is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, a characteristic that significantly increases its appeal and market value to educated buyers who prioritize natural integrity.

Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this spinel carries the provenance of one of the world’s most respected gem producing regions, known historically for high quality spinel and responsible artisanal mining. The Natural Gemstone Company sources this stone through trusted Sri Lankan partners who are committed to responsible mining practices, fair labor, and environmental stewardship, and we can provide traceability documentation and independent gemological reporting upon request. Spinel rates approximately 8 on the Mohs scale, providing excellent durability for daily wear in rings and high use jewelry, while the mixed brilliant cut and the gem’s dimensions make it particularly suitable as a striking center stone. For the conscious consumer and collector, this pink spinel represents a combination of aesthetic excellence, natural authenticity, and ethical sourcing, making it a meaningful addition to a curated collection that values transparency, craftsmanship, and long term investment potential.
