Stone Identity & Quality
This natural Pink Spinel rough weighs 4.30 ct and measures 9.6 × 10.2 × 5.1 mm.
It is an unheated facet-grade rough gemstone sourced from Ratnapura village around mining in Sri Lanka, an established gemstone-producing region of Ceylon.
The stone is offered in its natural rough condition for professional evaluation by gemstone cutters, dealers, collectors, jewelers, and buyers interested in Sri Lankan spinel.
Color & Visual Characteristics
The rough displays a natural pink body color under normal lighting. Its appearance varies slightly according to light source, viewing direction, and the thickness of the material.
Under UV illumination, the spinel shows a clearly visible red fluorescence. This reaction provides an additional observable gemological characteristic and can be useful when documenting the material.
UV fluorescence alone, however, should not be considered proof of geographic origin, treatment condition, or final gemstone quality.
Internal & External Features
The stone retains its natural irregular rough form with visible surface features and internal characteristics.
Different areas of the rough show varying transparency and internal structure. These features should be examined carefully during cutting preparation because their position can influence orientation, shape selection, and final weight retention.
The photographs include both normal-light and UV-light views to provide a more transparent representation of the material.
Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential
This stone is classified as facet-grade rough and can be professionally evaluated for faceting.
Its 9.6 × 10.2 × 5.1 mm dimensions provide useful depth for orientation planning, but the final shape and finished weight depend on the cutter’s assessment of internal features, color direction, depth, and areas that need to be removed.
Possible cutting orientation should therefore be decided after direct inspection rather than estimating a guaranteed finished size from rough weight alone.
