This oval-cut Spinel weighs 2.86 carats and measures 10.29 x 7.72 x 4.61 mm, displaying an Intense Purple color with VVS clarity. The well-executed cut brings out the natural luster of the material and gives the stone an attractive face-up appearance without distracting from its distinctive color.
Untreated and naturally colored, this Sri Lankan Purple Spinel offers a beautiful combination of color, clarity, and cutting quality at a very reasonable price. This gemstone has the kind of quiet confidence that ages well.
Pure spinel (MgAl₂O₄) is colorless. The extraordinary range of natural gem colors in spinel results from trace element substitutions within the magnesium and aluminum sites of the crystal lattice. Learn more about Spinel.
