Pink/Purple Spinel From Sri Lanka .55CT

 

Sri Lanka (historically Ceylon) is a premier source for natural, untreated pink and purple spinels. Prized for their exceptional brilliance, romantic color shifts (from rosy lavender to deep violet), and high durability, these gemstones are widely used for bespoke engagement rings and custom jewelry. 

 

Key Characteristics of Ceylon Pink/Purple Spinel

 

  • Color Range: Offers a beautiful palette ranging from soft baby pink and lavender to vibrant fuchsia and deep violet. Stones frequently exhibit a color-shift under different lighting sources (e.g., rosy hues in daylight to mysterious purple in ambient light). 
  • Treatments: Sri Lankan spinels are highly sought after because they are frequently unheated and untreated, retaining their completely natural color and clarity. 
  • Durability: Ranking at an 8.5 on the Mohs scale, they are incredibly durable and highly suited for daily wear in rings or pendants. 
  • Value: While vibrant pinks are very valuable, purple and lavender tones often offer collectors and jewelers an excellent, budget-friendly alternative to traditional precious stones.
