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. It is an attractive, very very slightly included purple color, "Round" cut gemstone. It is difficult to find superb quality Spinels, because many of them are very dark (almost black) or heavily included. Due to the political upheaval in southeast, it appears that these stones will soon be very very hard to come across and the days of the good Spinels may be dwindling.
