A sophisticated natural blue-grey spinel from Sri Lanka, weighing 2.49 carats in an elongated cushion cut. This stone displays a refined steel blue with a cool grey modifier — calm, deep and quietly commanding, with a restrained elegance that sets it apart from more saturated blue spinels. In shifting light the colour moves between slate, steel and a soft inky blue, giving this stone a living, atmospheric quality.
Completely unheated and unenhanced, this spinel’s distinctive colour is entirely natural. Blue-grey spinel is a genuinely rare and increasingly appreciated colour variety — understated yet unmistakably fine.
