0.64 ct Gray Spinel - Round

At 0.64 carats, this spinel from Sri Lanka carries its gray color through a round cut, measuring 5.5 x 3.5 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 genuine spinel at a size and price you can actually wear, the real thing rather than a machine-grown copy. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
