    Spinel is a strange gemstone. Not only are the colors varied and unusual, they also look different under different lighting conditions. Many of them not only appear dusky, they will also show a slight to strong color change between incandescent and daylight conditions. I have tried to get the colors of these pictures as accurate as possible. I will attempt to explain more about each gemstones characteristics below. If you know Spinel you will understand what I'm saying here.
