7.27 Ct. Spinel from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Spinel carries a quiet and noble history, a gemstone that has graced crowns and treasured collections for centuries, often admired for its enduring beauty and historical presence. This example from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent, Other certified, Greenish Blue, 7.27 carat oval blue spinel from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, measuring 13.29 x 11.11 x 6.14 mm. Its dark color intensity and excellent polish speak to both its natural depth and careful finishing, while the clarity graded as very very slightly included at eye level ensures an essentially eye clean appearance that honors traditional expectations for a legacy gem. With no enhancement this spinel offers an authentic connection to the storied gem fields of Ceylon, a place synonymous with classic gemstones, and it is an object that will sit comfortably in heirloom jewelry or a collector s cabinet, embodying the sense of history and permanence that attracts those who value lineage and provenance.

The oval shape and mixed brilliant cut of this spinel have been chosen to enhance the stone s inherent optical qualities, marrying classical form with modern faceting technique to maximize life and character. The mixed brilliant approach combines a brilliant style crown with complementary pavilion facets, directing light into the gem and reflecting it back in lively flashes even within a darker color saturation, creating a play of deep ocean tones and lively internal fire. The well proportioned dimensions allow the pavilion to capture and return light while the elongated oval outline emphasizes color continuity and elegance when set, and the excellent polish ensures facet junctions remain crisp so each reflection is clear and distinct. For those seeking a piece that speaks of tradition and refined workmanship, The Natural Gemstone Company presents this greenish blue Ceylon spinel as a refined choice, a gem that balances historical resonance with a faceting design that truly celebrates the way light travels through a superior, untreated stone.
