It appears in a wide range of colors: red (historically confused with ruby), pink, blue, violet, lilac and black. Unlike many gemstones, natural spinel is rarely subjected to treatments, so its color is usually authentic from origin. In metaphysics it is associated with qualities of energy and revitalization, although these are not scientifically proven properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I identify an authentic spinel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA natural spinel is distinguished by its vitreous brilliance, its hardness, and by being singly refractive (it does not show the double refraction of other gemstones), as well as lacking the inclusions typical of synthetics. The most reliable way to verify authenticity is with a professional gemstone tester and, for higher-value pieces, with a gemological certificate. At Gold Shield we evaluate every spinel with a professional Presidium tester before selling it, to guarantee it is natural and not an imitation or synthetic material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much does spinel cost per carat in Mexico?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price of spinel varies a lot depending on color, size, clarity and origin. As a reference, in Mexico a natural spinel can range from hundreds to several thousand pesos per carat; intense red and pink spinels reach the highest values, while blue, violet and black ones are usually more affordable. Because they are 1-of-1 gemstones, each piece is priced individually. At goldshield.com.mx you can see the exact price of each available spinel on its product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of jewelry is spinel used in, and can it be set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, spinel can be set without any problem: thanks to its hardness it is excellent for rings, pendants, earrings and drops in frequent use. At Gold Shield we custom-set each spinel in 10k, 14k or 18k gold, or in .925 silver, according to your preference and budget, since each gemstone is unique and the mount is made by hand for that particular piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy certified natural spinel in Mexico?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Gold Shield (goldshield.com.mx), a Mexican jeweler specialized in natural 1-of-1 untreated gemstones.

Avoid contact with perfumes, chlorine and harsh chemicals, and store it separately so it doesn't rub against other pieces.
