SPINEL
Spinel Rarity
In general, jewellers and gemologists
choose red spinel as the most desirable colour since some of them can rival fine ruby, but
the best blue spinel remains "cobalt blue".

THE QUESTION
What Are The Most Valuable
Spinels?
Most stones have poor saturation, and
their blue hues appear greyish. The finest and most valuable blue spinel colours can counter
blue sapphire ones, with deep violet-blue to pure blue colours that are neither too dark nor
too bright.
Note that spinels usually come in the same
alluvial as corundum (ruby and sapphire).

With over ten years of marketing
experience, I finally decided to settle down in Bangkok to work in an area that I have
always been interested in: the gemstones industry. I'm still learning how the market works
on a daily basis, and I enjoy sharing my experience with those who are interested in
learning more about gems in general.
