About Spinel Gemstones

Spinel is a magnesium aluminum oxide mineral that crystallizes in the cubic system, giving it high brilliance and excellent light performance. High-quality spinel is transparent, eye-clean, and displays vivid color saturation.

With a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, spinel is durable enough for daily-wear jewelry, including engagement rings. Major sources include Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Madagascar. Spinel is usually untreated, making natural stones especially desirable.

Spinel symbolizes vitality, renewal, and inspiration, making it a meaningful gemstone for modern and classic jewelry alike.
