Natural Pinkish Purple Spinel 2.68 Carat Cushion Cut from Ceylon
Softly romantic and naturally distinctive, this 2.68 carat natural pinkish purple spinel from Ceylon, Sri Lanka displays an elegant combination of lavender-purple, pink, and subtle rose-toned flashes.
The gemstone has been cut and polished into a softly rectangular cushion shape, giving it a balanced outline that could complement both classic and contemporary jewelry designs. Measuring approximately 8.86 × 7.47 × 4.50 mm, it offers an attractive face-up presence for a custom ring, pendant, anniversary piece, or bespoke fine jewelry creation.
This earth-sourced natural spinel is disclosed as untreated. Its pinkish purple color, VS clarity characteristics, and individual internal features remain naturally associated with the gemstone.

Soft Pinkish Purple Color with Lavender Undertones
This natural Ceylon spinel displays a refined pinkish purple appearance rather than a dark or heavily saturated purple. Its lighter lavender body color is complemented by soft pink and rose-toned flashes that become more noticeable across selected facets.
Depending on the light source and viewing angle, the gemstone may appear more lavender, pinker, deeper purple, or slightly warmer. These natural shifts are part of the character of colored gemstones and may be observed differently in daylight, shaded natural light, direct light, and indoor environments.
The cushion outline combines gently rounded corners with a softly rectangular shape. This provides jewelry makers with flexibility when creating either a traditional vertical setting or a contemporary east-west design.
An Untreated Natural Spinel from Sri Lanka
This gemstone is disclosed as having received no treatment. Its color and natural internal characteristics have not been intentionally altered through a disclosed heating or enhancement process.
Untreated natural gemstones often appeal to gem collectors, jewelry makers, and clients who value the individual features created through natural geological processes. Every earth-sourced gemstone has its own combination of color, inclusions, proportions, facet pattern, and response to light.
Natural spinel is appreciated as a colored gemstone in its own right and is suitable for a wide range of bespoke jewelry and fine jewelry designs. Its pinkish purple tone offers a distinctive alternative to more traditional sapphire gemstones and colorless center stones.
What Could You Create with This 2.68 Carat Spinel?
The gemstone’s cushion shape, romantic color, and practical dimensions make it suitable for several meaningful jewelry ideas:
- A natural pinkish purple spinel engagement ring
- A romantic promise or anniversary ring
- A classic cushion-cut solitaire ring
- A contemporary east-west ring design
- A three-stone ring with natural diamond side stones
- A vintage-inspired halo setting
- A statement cocktail ring
- A pinkish purple spinel pendant
- A bespoke wedding or milestone jewelry piece
- An addition to a natural gemstone collection
Rose gold could complement the gemstone’s pink and lavender undertones, creating a warm and romantic appearance. White gold or platinum may provide a clean contemporary contrast, while yellow gold could add richness and warmth.
Natural diamond accents could provide additional brightness around the center stone. A simple four-claw setting may emphasize its cushion outline, while a bezel or partial-bezel design could offer a clean and protective contemporary finish.
If you are considering a ready-made semi-mount jewelry setting, provide the exact gemstone dimensions to your jeweler before purchasing. Natural gemstones are individually cut, and a custom-made setting generally provides the most accurate and secure fit.
A Distinctive Alternative for Engagement Rings and Fine Jewelry
This untreated pinkish purple spinel could make an individual center stone for clients who want an engagement ring, promise ring, wedding-related jewel, or bespoke jewelry piece with a softer and less conventional color.
Its lavender and pink tones may particularly appeal to jewelry lovers who admire Ceylon sapphires, Australian sapphires, Madagascan sapphires, unheated sapphire gemstones, untreated sapphires, peacock sapphires, blue-green sapphires, green sapphires, and other rare colored gemstones.
For a gem collector, the combination of Ceylon origin, untreated condition, cushion cut, VS clarity, and 2.68 carat weight makes this a distinctive loose gemstone to consider for a carefully selected natural gemstone collection.
Choosing a Natural Pinkish Purple Spinel with Confidence
When selecting a natural spinel, consider the complete combination of color, cut, clarity, dimensions, treatment disclosure, natural characteristics, and intended jewelry design.
Carat weight is important, but face-up dimensions and the way a gemstone responds to different lighting conditions are equally relevant. Review all available photographs, videos, and side views before deciding whether the gemstone suits your preferred design.

I had a very positive experience purchasing from SapphirePal. Pete was responsive, patient and professional throughout the process, and took the time to answer my questions in detail. He also provided additional photos and videos when requested, which was very helpful when buying a gemstone online.
The stone arrived safely, well packaged and as described, with the certification included. Overall, a smooth and reassuring experience, and I would happily recommend SapphirePal!
Absolutely stunning purchase once again from Sapphirepal 🤩 thsnk you !!
Very happy with colour and cut. A really pretty stone that I look forward to seeing as jewellery.
OMG, just spectacular, and excellent quality. Thanks again for your wonderful service and super quick postage time. I can't wait until I find my next precious gem.
Just stunning. I love this bi- Color sapphire. Flawless to look at, and expertly packaged and presented for my collection. Communication and postage time were exceptional. Thank you. I can’t wait until I have saved enough for my next special gem.
This gemstone is just perfect. My only criticism is the photos on your site were not the best quality for me. However, reading the description of this gem, together with photos, I took the plunge and ordered this true gem. I was so very pleasantly surprised when it arrived, as it certainly held up to its reputation. This is the first time I have purchased from sapphire pal. And I don’t think it will be my last either. Communication, fast delivery, and accurate descriptions, all to be commended. Thank you.
Very good quality sapphires and fast shipping! Thank you!
Hello! 🇺🇦I just wanted to thank you — my grey spinel from Australia has finally arrived in Ukraine. The stone is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I hoped for! Thank you for the great service, smooth delivery, and amazing customer support. Your support was invaluable at every stage of the long delivery journey. I’m really happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering only from you from now on!
I received what i expected. The stones are with the certificates of authenticity. Had a little bit delay with the delivery due to post issues, I will buy the stones which are much bigger. It was a first try to buy on line. Highly recommend gem stones in this shop.
Absolutely wonderful stone. Great and fast customer service. My stone is actually 1.13ct so it was a tiny bit larger than listed, the colours are true to the photos (stunning!), had a jeweller look at it who said it was a "very nice QLD sapphire". Very very happy customer.
Exceptional service helping me find the perfect stones for my ring. The first set arrived and were not quite the right colour and Pete was more than happy to express post another set, which turned out to be perfect. Beautiful sapphires, fantastic customer service
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning Tanzanite – Exceptional Quality & Color!
I recently purchased this natural 1.36ct oval-cut Tanzanite from Sapphire Pal and couldn't be more impressed! The blue-purple hue is absolutely captivating — exactly what you'd expect from a premium earth-mined Tanzanite. The cut is clean and symmetrical, maximizing the stone’s brilliance and color play in natural light.
What really stood out was that this gemstone is 100% natural and untreated, which is increasingly rare for Tanzanites today. It’s perfect for a custom fine jewelry project, especially for a Tanzanite engagement ring or a one-of-a-kind pendant.
The shipping was fast, and the packaging was secure and elegant. I also appreciated the detailed product description and high-resolution photos — they matched the stone perfectly.
If you're looking for a genuine, ethically sourced Tanzanite with beautiful color saturation, this is the one. Highly recommend Sapphire Pal for anyone seeking collector-grade gemstones from Sri Lanka, Madagascar, or Africa.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning Natural Blue Green Sapphire!
I recently purchased this Natural Blue Green Sapphire (0.43 Carat, Round Cut) and I couldn’t be more impressed! The stone has a truly captivating teal hue — a perfect balance between blue and green sapphire tones that shift subtly in different lighting. It’s even more beautiful in person than the photos!
The cut is precise and sparkles brilliantly despite its petite size, and the dimensions make it ideal for a minimalist ring or unique cluster setting. I appreciate that it’s a genuine earth-mined sapphire with no treatments — you can really see the quality and authenticity.
Shipping was fast, and the gem came securely packaged with a helpful authenticity confirmation. This is my second time ordering from Sapphire Pal, and their consistency and customer service are excellent. If you're looking for a natural unheated blue green sapphire for custom jewelry, I highly recommend this one!
Stone did not disappoint absolutely beautiful. Thanks Pete fantastic service once again as always 😁
