What Makes It Special
• Exceptionally rare colour — Deep teal blue-green is among the rarest and most coveted colour varieties in Ceylon spinel, driven by trace cobalt and iron; fine examples are genuinely hard to source
• Completely unheated — Natural colour of this depth and intensity without any treatment whatsoever
• Ceylon spinel — Sri Lanka is one of the world’s most prestigious spinel origins, producing colours of unmatched character and intensity
• Collector momentum — Teal and cobalt-tinted spinels are among the fastest appreciating stones in the coloured gemstone market
• Pear cut — An elegant shape that draws out the colour and depth of this magnificent stone
• Natural character — SI2 clarity with inclusions characteristic of natural unheated spinel; the deep colour renders them invisible face-up at normal viewing distance
