A deeply captivating natural teal spinel from Sri Lanka, weighing 1.68 carats in a pear cut. This exceptional stone displays a rich, inky teal blue-green — a rare and intensely saturated colour with blue flashes that shift and ignite as the stone moves through light. Deep, mysterious and wholly distinctive, this is a colour that commands immediate attention.
Completely unheated and unenhanced, this spinel's extraordinary colour is entirely natural. Teal blue-green is one of the rarest and most prized colour varieties in Ceylon spinel — increasingly recognised by collectors worldwide as a benchmark of the species at its most spectacular.
