Would love to see more about how to distinguish synthatic from real stones.

Spinel is a great gem and it really felt like that secret stone with excellent physical properties that no one knew about. It's a bit sad that as it's becoming more popular it's also getting more expensive. I would love to put my hands on a nice jedi spinel one day, but with this pricing I probably won't 🙄

I was lucky to come across a little red octahedral spinel that fluoresces beautifully and it didn’t break the bank. Love this stone and how high on the mohs it sits. Great vid and lovely eye candy for people like me who can’t afford the gemmy faceted type!

Yes they are!

Love your educational channel ❤️

I was all excited when your segment was on spinels! I purchased an Art Deco ring with channel set green spinels last week, and anxiously waited for you to share some you had. Alas, I saw only one at the beginning in a still. I was so sad!

Loved the video! Very informative.

Thank you! Cheers!

I consider Spinels to be in the top tiers of gemstone with diamonds emeralds rubies and sapphires actually...when the most famous ruby in the world (black prince) turns out to be actually a Spinel - you know they're fit for royalty.....best secret gemstone ever

Good for you!

Can you tell something about spinel fluorescence?

Thankyou - excellent clear explanations. Does the black get misidentified in vintage jewelry. It seems like there are so many black stones and beads and cabochons. I always love the story of the red spinel in UK Crown Jewels was always thought to be a ruby. ❤💎😳

Yes it's common in heritage jewels that they thought they were rubies! So cool. I'm not sure, they might, it xould also be Schorl

❤❤❤❤❤

What is the price range of a metallic spinel? Those are very cool.

I am newly obsessed with the grey spinels. I have never seen a green one. Do they exist in nature?

I don't know why you say a budget under 6k to not look for this? I've found many beautifully faceted, unheated natural stones for under half of that number. The trick is to find dealers who specifically deal with natural gemstones, not a basic jewelry store. The sizes have all ranges.

No no, sorry I think you misunderstood, we were talking about rubies. We were explaining that to find rubies of nice clarity (for engagement rings) you should have a budget of 6k+. That's why we were showing red spinels as a great alternative!

How much is an electric blue? Say half carat?
