Spinel, a magnesium-aluminum oxide, was often mistaken for ruby or sapphire until its distinct characteristics were discovered in 1783. Originating from Asia and the Middle East, gem-quality spinel is now found worldwide, particularly in Myanmar. Spinel’s color varies based on trace elements, plum spinel has chromium and vanadium which causes red hues and iron causing magenta and purple hues. Plum spinel can also show red and orange fluorescence. The gem is associated with the 22nd wedding anniversary.
