Rising Sun's Gemstone - Spinel
Spinel is a long-established gemstone that has long been ranked among the beautiful and collectible gemstones. Spinels are generally not optimized and have a rich color, and the clarity is often quite high. Therefore, spinel often shines in the use of high-end jewellery. Spinel characteristics In mineralogy, spinel belongs to the large group of composite oxides; the spinel family, which is a large group of minerals containing trace elements such as Al, Cr, Fe, Zn and Mn. The structure of the spinel is Cubic crystals, which give the crystal a perfect octahedral shape (similar to a double pyramid). Usually, spinel has twinning along the octahedron, resulting in a striking perfect hexagon. And because of the coloring elements such as Cr, Fe, Zn, etc., the spinel has a series of rich colors: pink to red, orange red, purple and purple, light blue to vivid blue, green to green blue Color, blue-gray, and even black opaque gems. Classic origin of spinel There are several places in the spinel producing area, including the Pamirs in Tajikistan, the Mogu Gem in Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. Pamirs: The spinel produced here is generally pink-pink, and the spinel produced has a very high clarity and an amazing size. Although the mining of the Pamirs has been going on for centuries, it still continues to produce high quality spinels for the market. Tajikistan spinel Mogu, Myanmar: Spinel from Myanmar has a variety of colors, including pastel, pastel shades of pink, purple, orange, and gray-blue. One of the most interesting and important points is the balanced combination of trace elements. The spinel of Myanmar presents a rich deep red color and is a typical feature of Mo Valley spinel. Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka's spinel is mostly soft pink and dark blue, and the rich cobalt blue spinel is also very rare. In addition to these classic origins, gem-quality spinels have recently been discovered in Vietnam, Madagascar and East Africa. The past and present of spinel Spinel has been used as a gemstone for centuries. The word "Spinel" in English has not yet been clarified. It may be related to the ancient Greek term "spinos", meaning "sparkling", referring to the bright and brilliant appearance of spinel; or It is also possible to originate from the Latin "spina", meaning "small thorn" to describe the tapered shape of octahedral crystals. With the popularity of spinel in the market, the price of spinel is increasing day by day, especially the price of red spinel is significantly higher. This may also be based on the fact that the spinel is usually untreated, and it also shows that the true treasure of wealth is purely natural. Due to the tendency of spinel to be favored, more and more high-quality spinels have been sent to the Swiss Gemological Institute (SSEF) laboratory for inspection. Like rubies and sapphires, when spinels are traded on the market, they also need to produce a report on the origin of the gemstone.
