Faceted Spinel
 Spinel is found in a wide range of colors due to the presence of various
impurities and is transparent to almost opaque. Red spinel colored by chromium
and iron is the most popular, although for many years it was thought to
be a variety of ruby. The orange-yellow or orange-red variety is called
rubicelle (a diminutive of the french word for ruby). Blue spinel is colored
by cobalt. Occasionally, inclusions of crystals such as magnetite or apatite
may occur, and some Sri Lankan spinels may include zircon crystals surrounded
by brown halos. Star stones are rare, but when cut in cabochons may show
4-ray or 6-ray stars.
REMAKS: Synthetic spinel has been manufactured since 1910. It has been
used to imitate diamond or colored to imitate stones such as aquamarine
and zircon. The name may derive from the latin word spina, meaning
"little thorn" referring to the sharp points on some crystals.
