A striking 1.27 carat natural cobalt blue spinel from Sri Lanka — the rare, saturated color variety prized above ordinary blue spinel. Cut as an oval, the stone reads dark and inky in low light but ignites into a vivid, neon-like teal-blue flash under direct light, a hallmark of fine cobalt spinel. Clean, richly saturated, and untreated, this is the standout piece of the group and would anchor any fine jewelry setting.
