Spinel. Spinels have for a few years now transitioned from "Semi-Precious stone" to "Precious stone" As we all know, the category of Precious stone counted Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds. Now Spinel has been added to it. It's desirability is through the roof. Why is that? Well for centuries they have been confused with Rubies as they are mainly mined in close proximity to Corundum (Rubies and Sapphires) and their Red color ressembles Ruby Red. Their crystal is usually super transparent and they are less included than Rubies. In short they are desired for their Intense color and clean crystal. The vast majority of Spinels are not treated in any way due to these desirable characteristics. Spinels come in every color of the rainbow and endless combinations, making it an ideal contender for everyone's choice of color. Example of such is this Red Spinel originating from Tanzania, cut and polished in a Hexagon Shape and purposely left with a huge culet to show its natural intensity of color even in very flat stones. This one weighs 2.65ct and is super clean.

I love how versatile they are - coming in almost every colour imaginable. And that Red Spinel from Tanzania sounds absolutely stunning. There’s just something special about a gem that’s naturally vibrant and untreated. I’m curious, do you have a personal favourite Spinel colour? It’s hard to pick just one with so many beautiful options!

This is good news, as I always see it as precious stones. Does that mean the spinal price will increase?
