1.03 ct Purple Spinel - Round

This 1.03-carat spinel is cut as a round measuring 5.1 x 3.3 mm, with a purple body color, sourced from Sri Lanka.

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 carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

This is a real, natural spinel you can wear without a second thought, the genuine article at an easy size. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
