- History: Spinel gemstones are among many famous gemstones, including the "Black Prince's Ruby," the "Timur Ruby" in the British Crown Jewels, and the "Côte de Bretagne" (formerly known as the French Crown Jewels). Transparent red spinels were called spinel-rubies or balas rubies. Before the 18th century, spinels and rubies were both classified as rubies.
