1.15 ct Purple Spinel - Round

This 1.15-carat spinel is cut as a round measuring 5.0 x 3.4 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 is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

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.
