SPINEL Imagine how difficult it must have been telling the Queen of England that her beloved Ruby in the crown jewels was not a Ruby at all, but Spinel! The “Black Prince’s Ruby”, which is now set in the British Imperial State Crown, was thought by Henry V to be a Ruby (hence its name); but it is actually a 170ct Spinel. Red Spinel is actually rarer than Ruby, but unlike the latter can be found in large sizes. Pure Spinel is white and its impurities like iron, chromium, vanadium and cobalt provides many colors of Spinel like Ruby reds, electrifying blues, purples, pinks and greys. Spinel is a favorite of many gem collectors. It has fantastic brilliance with a vitreous luster, and as it is very durable and tough, it makes it an ideal gem to set into jewelry.
