Spinel
The Gem the Industry Kept Secret. We Won’t.
Natural Spinel — Ethically Sourced Brilliance with Edge and Soul
Spinel is the insider’s stone—once mistaken for ruby, now prized in its own right for its electric brilliance, silky luster, and range of mesmerizing hues. From stormy gray-blues to hot pinks, deep plums, moody purples, and metallic silvers, spinel offers an edge that’s both refined and raw.
At Caleb B. Quashen International, we seek out untreated spinel from trusted sources—stones with clarity, fire, and soul. Many of our spinels come from Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Tanzania, where small-scale miners uncover these rare crystals with minimal impact and deep care.
