Discover the distinctive beauty of this approximately 3 carat (8 × 10 mm) Oval Cut lab-grown Dark Green spinel. Displaying a rich forest green colour with exceptional clarity and brilliance, this precision-cut gem showcases the remarkable optical performance and durability that have made spinel one of the world's most respected gem minerals.

Lab-grown spinels are real spinels. They possess the same chemical composition (MgAl₂O₄), crystal structure, hardness, and optical properties as natural spinel. The only difference is their origin.

Every Gemdrop® gem is individually scientifically verified and permanently recorded within the Gemdrop Verification Database, providing complete transparency and confidence in exactly what you are purchasing.

A REAL SPINEL. CREATED THROUGH SCIENCE.

This gem was grown using the Flame Fusion (Verneuil) process, a well-established technique for producing gem-quality spinel, within one of the world's leading high-technology gem-growing laboratories. Utilising advanced crystal growth systems and carefully controlled production conditions, these facilities produce spinel crystals with exceptional optical quality, colour consistency, and clarity.

The resulting crystal is genuine spinel—not a simulant or imitation—with the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as spinel formed naturally within the Earth.

DEEP COLOUR. NATURAL BRILLIANCE.

Dark Green spinel displays rich, luxurious green tones reminiscent of ancient forests and polished jade, offering a sophisticated alternative to more familiar green gems. Its exceptional transparency and high lustre allow the colour to remain vibrant while producing lively brilliance and crisp flashes of light.

The Oval Cut is renowned for its elegant proportions and outstanding light performance. Its elongated shape enhances the apparent size of the gem while beautifully showcasing the depth of colour and exceptional clarity, making it ideal for rings, pendants, earrings, and bespoke jewellery.

With a Mohs hardness of 8, spinel offers excellent durability and resistance to everyday wear, making it a superb choice for fine jewellery intended to be enjoyed for years to come.

Every Gemdrop® gem undergoes scientific verification before being permanently recorded within the Gemdrop Verification Database.
