SPINEL JEWELRY Spinel, MgAl2O4, is a very attractive and
historically important gemstone. In fact, many rubies of crown
jewel
collections were actually red
spinels. Although the most common
spinel
color is red, it also comes in green, blue, purple, brown and
black.
Spinel is very hard, being 7.5 to 8.0 on the mohs scale. The
refractive
index is 1.71 to 1.76 with an isometric crystal system. Important
sources are Burma, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Brazil.On this page, we feature
some of our finished spinel jewelry. Keep in mind that we
can mount any of our loose spinel gemstones in jewelry of
your
choice.
