An Oval Spinel of 7.05 carats in Purple, measuring 14.98 x 10.32 x 6.03 mm, sourced from Sri Lanka. The facet separation remains crisp under normal lighting, the luster is natural and unforced, and the way light moves through the material at this size gives the stone a presence that smaller purple Spinels simply cannot replicate. Completely unaltered, the crystal development remains exactly as formed.
What makes this stone particularly worth studying is the natural inclusion visible in the macro video. Inclusions of this character in a Spinel of this size are not flaws—they are a record of the geological conditions that produced the crystal, and in a stone this large and this well-cut, they become part of what makes the piece identifiably natural and genuinely individual. Purple Spinel from Sri Lanka at 7.05 carats is already uncommon. One with this kind of natural internal character and surface presence is rarer still.
It is not about what it costs. It is about what it costs to find another like it.
Sri Lanka has produced gem-quality spinel from its alluvial gem gravels for centuries, yielding material across a broader color range than any other single country: deep blue, lavender, purple, cobalt blue, pink, and near-colorless.. Learn more about Spinel.
