Spinel

Item Description

Spinel is another gem that comes in a great range of colors. Most people are familiar with the Ruby Spinels, but a large percentage of Spinels out there are not red. This stone is an attractive, virtually eye clean, cobalt blue color "Oval" cut gemstone. This gem has a very attractive color, as it is not at all grey in appearance. It is difficult to find superb quality Spinels, espeically in this color, because of political upheaval in southeast Asia. It appears that these stones will soon be very very hard to come across and the days of the good Spinels may be dwindling. The high retail price on this gem is $345.
