Lavander Spinel From Burma 0.71CT
Light lavender sapphires from Sri Lanka (historically known as Ceylon) are exceptionally rare, natural gemstones prized for their soft pastel-to-violet hues. Renowned for outstanding brilliance and clarity, these untreated, no-heat stones are highly sought after as elegant, romantic centerpieces for heirloom jewelry and engagement rings.
Key Characteristics
- Color: Soft, delicate blends of pastel purple, lilac, mauve, or silvery-violet.
- Treatments: Many Sri Lankan lavender sapphires are completely unheated and untreated, making them highly prized by collectors.
- Cut & Clarity: Commonly cut into ovals, cushions, or emerald cuts to maximize brilliance. They are often eye-clean, though some may exhibit a "silky" glow due to microscopic rutile silk inclusions.
- Durability: Like all corundum sapphires, they rate a 9 on the Mohs scale, making them highly durable for daily wear.
Pricing & Availability
Because of their rarity, prices vary heavily based on size, color saturation, and whether the stone has been heat-treated
