A classic Sri Lankan Spinel is an unusually fine color and excellent cut. This material has long been associated with Sri Lanka and continues to be an important part of gem production there, though we rarely see gems in such a bright and saturated color. Purples from Sri Lankan tend to be dark and brownish, not at all the case here. Indeed, it could easily be mistaken for Vietnamese. Perfectly clean and quite lovely.
