About Spinel

Spinel comes in a wide range of stunning hues and can also exhibit optical phenomena like asterism and color-change. It is generally underappreciated compared to other colored stones, lending itself to more affordable prices. This gem, said in Burma to be polished by the spirits, has a beauty that is difficult to ignore. It serves as a birthstone for the month of August sharing with peridot.  It is mainly found in Afghanistan, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
