Natural Unheated Spinel Rough Parcel – 23 Pieces, 43.77 Carats, Facet Grade from Rakwana, Nivithigala & Embilipitiya, Sri Lanka

Stone Identity & Quality

This parcel contains 23 pieces of natural unheated facet-grade spinel rough with a combined weight of 43.77 carats. Individual stones range from approximately 3.32 carats to 1.00 carat. The material was sourced directly from Rakwana, Nivithigala, and Embilipitiya villages 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 characteristics. Randomly selected, 2 stones are already pre-formed for trilliant and octagon shapes.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The parcel shows a varied natural spinel color range. One highlighted stone from the collection displays a lavenderish tone that revealed its true character during preforming. Colors may include subtle lavender, purplish, and other natural spinel tones depending on the individual piece. 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. Directional lighting, water examination, and magnification can help the cutter study the cleanest internal direction, strongest color orientation, inclusion placement, available depth, surface-reaching features, and most practical finished outline.

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. The cutter should balance color orientation, clarity management, weight retention, durability, symmetry, light return, and 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.
