The name spinel Spinel originated from the Latin word "thorn" because its ends are pointed. In ancient Greek, the literal meaning is "spintharis", indicating that she has a bright red color.

These large and beautiful spinels are often only slightly polished and engraved, and then spread to Central Asia, Persia or India's princes and nobles, and later brought to Europe via gems.

Spinel has high hardness and rich color, and has all the conditions to become a precious gemstone. The red spinel can even match the beauty of ordinary rubies.

The spinel is colorful in color, pink, red, purple, light purple, blue purple, blue, yellow, brown, and the like. Red spinel is also the most valuable and prestigious color, and the color of blue spinel is also popular if it is close to sapphire.

Spinel: I am also very beautiful and precious.

The beauty of the spinel is not well known in the past, it is the best "impersonator" in the world. In ancient times, because of the limited level of identification, spinels were often recognized as rubies. Until the 19th century, people also included her under the name of the red stone because of her unparalleled color. This historical misunderstanding is not only because her appearance is close to ruby, but also because the mining area is the same as ruby.
