About Spinel
Spinel is one of the world’s most remarkable and often underrated gemstones-admired for vivid colors, bright brilliance, and strong durability. Historically, high‑quality red spinels were even mistaken for rubies, and some famous royal jewels once thought to be rubies were later identified as spinels. A respected jewelry‑industry source explains this historical confusion and notes how several iconic crown jewels actually contain spinel, underscoring the gem’s importance.
Modern gemology confirms that spinel is a distinct mineral with a hardness of about 8 on the Mohs scale, making it much tougher than many popular gems and suitable for everyday jewelry when set thoughtfully.
Sri Lanka is also a historically important source of spinel. International gem‑education research notes Sri Lanka among the most famous, long‑running producers of gem‑quality spinel, alongside regions like Afghanistan and Myanmar, and describes many colors found there-including red, purple, and greenish blue. This gives buyers a strong reason to source spinel locally from Sri Lanka, especially for those seeking stones with proven origin and classic heritage.
Why Spinel is special?
- Rich color variety. From intense reds and pinks to blues, greys, lavenders, and blacks-spinels offer a palette that rivals other high‑end gemstones.
- High durability. With Mohs hardness around 8, spinel resists scratches well and is suitable for daily‑wear pieces like rings, pendants, and bracelets.
- Strong brilliance. Spinel’s optical qualities deliver lively sparkle and eye‑catching brightness in fine cuts.
- Historic prestige. Its long and storied use in crown jewels and royal collections adds rare heritage appeal to modern stones.
