Teal Spinel — Frequently Asked
- What causes the teal colour in spinel?
- Teal spinel owes its blue-green to trace elements, chiefly iron and sometimes a cobalt influence. The balance of blue to green varies from stone to stone, which is part of its collector appeal.
- Is teal spinel rare?
- Yes — teal and blue-green are among the less common spinel colours, so fine, saturated teal stones are genuinely scarce and sought-after.
- Is teal spinel natural and untreated?
- Yes — natural, almost always untreated, and sold with an independent gemological certificate.
- What should I look for in a teal spinel?
- Look for a clean, lively blue-green with good saturation (not greyed-out), bright cutting and good clarity, plus a certificate confirming natural spinel.
