Spinel is generally highly sought after by gem connoisseurs, and well-formed spinel crystals are in high demand among collectors. Spinel has been making a name for itself over the last couple of decades.

One of the most famous red spinel gemstones is the "Black Prince's Ruby" which is set in the front of the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II Imperial state crown just above the Cullinan II diamond.
