59.60 ct Ceylon Natural Spinel Rough Parcel – 20 Facet-Grade Pieces Above 2 ct from Sri Lanka

Stone Identity & Quality

This parcel contains 20 pieces of Ceylon natural facet-grade spinel rough with a combined weight of 59.60 ct. Individual stones range from 4.40 ct to 2.05 ct, meaning every piece weighs more than 2 ct. The average rough weight is approximately 2.98 ct per piece.

The stones were sourced from Rakwana, Embilipitiya, Ratnapura village around mining in Sri Lanka.

This is a practical mixed spinel cutting parcel suitable for gem cutters, dealers, jewelers, collectors, and buyers looking for individual rough stones with useful size and varied natural colors.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The parcel shows a varied natural spinel color range, including blue, grayish-blue, violet, lavender, purple, bluish-purple, and pinkish tones.

Some stones show stronger color concentration through selected directions, while others display softer or mixed tones depending on thickness, surface condition, background, and light direction. Several pieces appear more transparent when viewed against direct light, while deeper or included areas may appear darker.

Because the stones remain in rough form, the final face-up color will depend on correct orientation, finished depth, pavilion placement, and the cutting design selected for each piece.

Internal & External Features

The stones show natural alluvial and irregular rough forms with rounded surfaces, broken crystal areas, natural marks, internal inclusions, veils, fractures, and varied transparency.

Some pieces show cleaner internal zones that may support faceting, while others require careful planning around included or surface-reaching areas. Natural color concentration and possible zoning should also be considered before preforming.

Directional lighting, water examination, and magnification can help the cutter study:

Cleanest internal direction

Strongest color orientation

Inclusion placement

Available depth

Surface-reaching features

Most practical finished outline

These natural characteristics will influence the final yield and appearance of each gemstone.

Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential

This parcel is presented as facet-grade spinel rough, with the main purpose being individual cutting evaluation and future polished gemstone production.

Depending on the natural outline and depth of each piece, possible designs may include oval, cushion, round, pear, octagon, triangle, freeform, or mixed cuts. Some elongated pieces may support custom shapes, while broader stones may be suitable for cushions or ovals.

The cutter should balance:

Color orientation

Clarity management

Weight retention

Durability

Symmetry

Light return

Final jewelry suitability

No exact finished weight, clarity grade, color result, or final shape can be guaranteed before preforming and cutting. Custom cutting and certification can be discussed for suitable stones.
