Loose Spinel Buying Questions
Is spinel a natural gemstone?
Yes. Spinel is a naturally occurring mineral. Synthetic spinel also exists and has been used in jewelry for about a century, which is why a laboratory report that identifies a stone as natural matters.
Is spinel treated?
Spinel is treated far less often than ruby or sapphire. The treatment recorded for each stone, if any, is stated on its product page.
Is spinel hard enough for an engagement ring?
Yes. At 8 on the Mohs scale, spinel is hard enough for daily wear, slightly below sapphire and ruby at 9.
