0.59 ct Gray Spinel - Round

At 0.59 carats, this spinel from Sri Lanka carries its gray color through a round cut, measuring 5.5 x 3.1 mm.

Spinel is the gemstone long mistaken for ruby in old crown jewels; in its own right it grows as a hard, brilliant, untreated red, pink, or blue. Sri Lanka's gem gravels have been worked continuously for more than two thousand years. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

A natural spinel small enough to wear every day and real enough to mean it, not a lab stone and not glass. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
