About Red Spinel

Spinel is a special gemstone in many ways. For centuries it was mistaken for ruby and gained undeserved fame. Today fine red spinel is more rare than ruby but less valuable. That looks like a delayed revenge for its unlucky past. Its name derivation is also ambiguous. Experts are undecided whether it derives from the Greek word for "spark" or the Latin for "thorn".

Due to its excellent hardness (8 on Mohs scale) and high clarity spinel produces fine jewelry in various cuts and shapes. Spinel is never treated in any way and continues to be a great substitute for ruby and sapphire as well as an outstanding stone in its own right.

I'd recommend gem select because they have a great selection, and options from inexpensive wire wrap stones, to feature pieces in high end jewelry. Their site also gives you multiple ways to find exactly what you are looking for

Customer service is awesome. Thomas replied straight away to all my questions. He even send photos as I would like clear view of the stones up close. Payment is quite secured as we can pay using PayPal services. This way seller and buyers are both protected. I can’t wait to receive my Gems .

This is my first purchase from GemSelect. The website is clear and easy to navigate. As this is the first order I can't speak to the actual product until I receive the stones.
