Spinel:much appreciated by connoisseurs for centuries


Spinel: much appreciated by connoisseurs for centuries, was likened to the spinel ruby it was supposed to imitate. Yet spinel is rarer than rubies and it would logically have argued more expensive, which is far from being the case.
Today, spinel was recognized as such. Its wide range of colors, bright sound and hardness are very popular with professionals.
Red is the color of the most common spinel. It comes in several colors, from pink to red purple.
Spinel is rarely blue, a beautiful blue called "cobalt spinel."

Characteristics of spinel:
Spinel is a fairly hard stone, which is usually faceted in oval, round, rectangle with rounded corners.
Be careful not to confuse the natural spinel synthetic stone that bears the same name, but that has absolutely nothing to do.

Spinel-producing countries:
Spinel is found mainly in Myanmar, but also in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Tajikistan.
Among all species of gems, the one that stands out is the spinel from Burma. Its color is hot pink and a very lively with a hint of orange.
