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, good size, very very slightly included, pink color, "Roval Step" cut gemstone. This gem has a very attractive color, as pink Spinels are some of the most popular of all Spinels. It is difficult to find superb quality Spinels, these days because of political upheaval in southeast Asia, and the fact that the Chinese seem to be buying nearly everything that comes out of the ground in Burma. It appears that these stones will soon be very very hard to come across and the days of the good Spinels may be dwindling.
