EDITORS COMMENTS
This Sinhalite gemstone print showcases a stunning 15.5-carat, round mixed cut gem, hailing from the unique gravels of Sri Lanka. Sinhalite, a rare and intriguing mineral, is composed primarily of magnesium aluminum borate. Its discovery is limited to specific locations in this beautiful Asian country, making it a highly sought-after treasure among mineral and gemstone collectors. The Sinhalite in this print exhibits a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, with its facets reflecting a kaleidoscope of sparkles that dance across its surface. The native metal and borate mineral, monoborate, contribute to its distinctive monoclinic crystal structure, giving it a one-of-a-kind appearance. In the studio shot, the Sinhalite sits atop a bed of gravel, a subtle reminder of its origins. The contrast between the rough sediment and the polished, faceted gemstone highlights the transformation from its natural state to its refined beauty. The aluminum and borate minerals that make up Sinhalite are often found in close association with each other in the sediment, further emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between the mineral and its environment. This Sinhalite print is not only a testament to the wonders of nature but also a reminder of the rich mineral heritage of Sri Lanka, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean" for its abundance in precious gems and minerals. With its captivating beauty and intriguing history, this Sinhalite gemstone is a true gem among gems.
