Purple is a color you don't often encounter in spinels – and that's precisely what makes this 1.49-carat purple spinel so compelling. The rich, cool purple of this stone from Sri Lanka has a depth that draws you in immediately. Not red, not violet – but exactly that distinctive, unmistakable shade in between.
The octagonal faceted cut is an excellent match for a stone with this much personality. It gives the purple room to breathe while its clean lines lend the stone a structured, refined appearance. At 6.61 x 5.52 x 4.55 mm, the stone carries a pleasing depth that allows the color to glow from within. Small inclusions are present – a perfectly natural characteristic for a Sri Lankan gemstone of this quality, and one that does nothing to diminish its beauty.
The stone is accompanied by a gemstone report from IGNEOUS.
