Spinel is a special gemstone in many ways. For centuries it was mistaken for ruby and gained undeserved fame. Today fine red spinel is more rare than ruby but less valuable. That looks like a delayed revenge for its questionable past.
Its name derivation is also ambiguous. Experts are undecided whether it derives from the Greek word for "spark" or the Latin "thorn".
Although commonly thought of as red, spinel can be found in a range of beautiful pastel shades and clear white. These outstanding shades of pink, purple, orange, blue, plus every combination in between make spinels some of the most desirable stones in the world.
Due to its excellent hardness (8 on Mohs scale) and high clarity spinel is a very fine gem for jewelry of all kinds. Spinel is never treated in any way and continues to be a great substitute for diamond, ruby and sapphire as well.
