A classic deeply colored Spinel in a fine brilliant cut. This material has long been associated with Sri Lanka and continues to be an important part of gem production there. Each year, fine larger stones get scarcer and we are seldom able to offer these at 'old' price points. Perfectly clean, the very nice pairing of dark tone and this unusual violet primary color makes for a hue that is best described as reminiscent of a blueberry. The tone is nicely lightened a bit by the fine cutting and polish. Quite lovely and affordable.
