Spinel could be the most underrated gemstone we have. In ancient times, spinels were as highly thought of as rubies or sapphires, and they have a comparable clarity, depth and range of colors as well as durability.
Nowadays people are rediscovering the fine qualities that have seen spinels decorate many of the crown jewels of royalty in Europe and Asia.
Spinels can be found in a wide range of colors but it is the deep reds and the cobalt blues that are the most valuable.
Violet, pink and gray spinels are more common and less expensive but make stunning gemstones that are getting more and more popular amongst jewelry designers.
In recent years the grey spinel has become more popular with jewelry designers. The Metallic grey color is quite special in the gemstone world. This color is perfect for rings worn at night time.

Generally, spinels are just the single species which are separated by their color - red spinel, gray spinel and so on. They are all made up of the same mineral with traces of elements such as chromium, iron or cobalt causing the colors.
Although perhaps not as expensive as the finest rubies and sapphire, spinel is still a premium priced gemstone especially the vivid red and blue examples.
Other colors such as violet, gray, light pink, purple are lovely gemstones which can be found at much more reasonable prices.
Black spinels are the least expensive and are often bought for their spiritual power as well as their dramatic looks.
Of course, as with all gemstones, clarity and cut will have a major affect on the price of spinels and most should be at least eye-clean.
A good quality 1 carat spinel can cost somewhere from $150 to $500 in colors like red or blue.
Large spinels with a weight above 2 or 3 carats are exceedingly rare and the price will reflect this with price per carat rising dramatically as the stones get larger.
Top quality red spinels may be $1000 per carat at around one carat in weight but will quickly hit $2000 per carat over 2 carats in weight and may reach $5000 per carat if it is a top quality gemstone that is more than 5 carats.
The less rare violet and gray stones can be bought for between $20 and $200 per carat and the black examples much less no matter the size.

Gemselect is a good website with a great selection of loose gems for sale. The prices are fairly decent, with the only negative being the cut quality of the gems. This is my go to retailer for gemstones and will continue to be, given that the packages arrive in a timely manner.

I was looking for ammolite for my husband. Other websites are not always clear about whether they have genuine ammolite or simulated ammolite. I have purchased from GemSelect before and trust that the stones are genuine. Finding the stones I want is easy, and I love all of the search filter options!
