Color Change Spinel is a rare, phenomenal gem that changes color in front of your eyes. When you want two (or more) gems for the price of one…!
These gems are usually so light-sensitive that they display different colors in each different lighting condition.
The most significant changes in color are from florescent light (blues, greys) to incandescent light (pinks, purples). Daylight almost always shows a mix of each gem’s inherent colors, which can be considered a third color. Today’s newer LED lighting sometimes shows a fourth color too.
Small inclusions that are eye-visible don’t significantly affect the price when it comes to phenomenal gemstones like these – the beauty and strength of the change is far more important.
Spinel is a durable gemstone with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs Scale and can easily be used in all types of jewelry.Spinel is the new birthstone for August, together with Peridot. It also celebrates the 22nd anniversary and comes in a wide variety of colors, giving lots of options for August!
