About Natural Lavender Spinel

Lavender spinel belongs to the spinel mineral group and is colored primarily by trace amounts of iron and chromium. Unlike many gemstones, spinel is commonly found untreated, with its natural color and clarity preserved.

Key qualities of fine lavender spinel include:

• Soft, even lavender coloration

• High transparency and brilliance

• Minimal inclusions

• Balanced and precise cutting

Notable sources of lavender spinel include Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Tanzania. With a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, spinel is well suited for everyday jewelry.

Lavender spinel is often chosen for its association with calmness, balance, refinement, and creativity.
