Spinel

Spinel is a gemstone that has long been overshadowed by ruby and sapphire. Spinel’s color palette is very similar to corundum but shows much higher clarity and brilliance. In the past, ruby and red spinel were mistaken for the same mineral. That is why spinel is often found in antique jewelry.

The name spinel comes from the Latin word “spina,” meaning thorn. The name refers to the pointed crystals in this type of gemstone. Spinel occurs in the same geological environment as ruby and sapphire, where it is found in river deposits and mines.

The color palette of spinel mainly includes red and blue tones. Intensely red stones comparable to the finest rubies are rare and highly prized. More often, spinel shows a subtle secondary hue. Especially pink spinels are very attractive gemstones. Recent finds in Vietnam included spinel in neon pink and light blue colors, something previously unknown in the gemstone world. Large finds of high-quality spinel in Tanzania have also made this mineral popular again.

The price for beautiful spinel has risen sharply in recent years. Hardly any new deposits are discovered, and the known ones are being depleted. This is actually the case with most gemstones. As a result, high-quality spinel will become increasingly rare and therefore more valuable.
