SPINEL
In ancient Sanskrit writings, spinel was called the “daughter of ruby” because centuries ago the bright red color of Spinel was sometimes mistaken for a ruby because of its likeness in color. Much rarer than diamonds or sapphires, spinel makes beautiful jewelry and has increased in popularity.
