   Description characteristic of the mineral.

   СDifficult oxide of magnesium and aluminium of MgAl2O4. Mohs hardness 8, brilliance is glass. Be found mainly in form octahedral and dodecahedral crystals (other simple forms are rare) usually small sizes. Sometimes crystals Spinel are united in Druses. A color is very various - from colourless to black. The size of crystals is usually small, mass does not exceed 10-12 carat. Carat a measure of the weight of precious stones, esp diamonds. It was formerly defined as 3.17 grains, but the international carat is now standardized as 0.20 grams (5 carat = 1 grams).

   However there are large crystals. For Spinel the glass off-gloss is characteristic. Jeweller are the followings varieties: ruby Spinel (of the ruby type) - red; bale-ruby - rose-red; almandine Spinel (of the almandine type) - violet-red; rubicille - orange-red, yellow; sapphire Spinel (of the sapphire type) - dark blue, blue, cyan, sky; chlorospinel - brightly green; pleonaste, ceylonite pleonaste - dark-green; hanospinel - dark blue.

   In antiquity bright red Spinel did not distinguish from a ruby (coloured by the chrome of oxide of aluminium of Al2O3) and from Garnet-pyrope - by a carbuncle ancient could be any of these three stone. Cut Spinel is able as though to shine at dark. Red lale (Spinel of the ruby type), transparent and clean, a ruby reminds, sometimes excels him on beauty and brilliance, but yields to him on hardness: worn away in corners and ribs. Some of famous rubies red Spinel appeared on a check. Spinel of high quality is a dear enough jeweller stone, possessing strong brilliance at any illumination.

In deposits Spinel is frequent спутником of ruby. Authentication a large value has Spinel, especially from near of the cut stone resemblance with a ruby. To distinguish from him Spinel, as well as from other alike stone, it is possible on a form crystals, to more high brilliance in cutting, characteristic hardness, closeness and other physical properties. Diagnostics the best of all to charge Spinel an independent specialist.
