Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 If you try to find the most famous ruby in the world that would be in the UK Crown Jewels, named Black Prince's Ruby, it was worn in battle and the black prince was struck by a sword directly on the gem, but it didn't break and saved his life. Before the British it was in India named the Timur Ruby by the Muslims who stole it from the Hindu Rajas, before that it was the Maharaja Ruby, and before that it might have been the Syamantaka Gem given by Suryadev to Satrajit. The interesting thing is that 60 years ago modern science discovered that it is a Red Spinel, not a ruby. But still it is called the most famous "ruby" on Earth. Never underestimate the powers of red spinel to attract Suryadeva. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have a synthetic blue spinel which is light blue like an aquamarine, oval, 13 x 18 mm I wear in a silver ring I made by lost wax casting. Dear Mr. Expert Brown, is a blue spinel good?
