The transparent red spinels are also called spinel-rubies or balas-rubies and were often confused with actual rubies in ancient times. "Balas" is derived from Balascia, the ancient name for Badakhshan, a region in central Asia situated in the upper valley of the Kokcha river, one of the principal tributaries of the Oxus river. Yellow spinel is called rubicelle and violet-colored manganese-bearing spinel is called almandine. It may be colorless, but is usually various shades of red, blue, green, yellow, brown or black. There is a unique natural white spinel, now lost, that surfaced briefly in what is now Sri Lanka. Another famous spinel is the Black Prince's Ruby in the British Crown Jewels. True spinel has long been found in the gemstone-bearing gravel of Sri Lanka and in limestones of Myanmar and Thailand. # International bidder you are agreeing to the following when you place a bid with us. # International bidders UPS signature delivery is the only delivery option # We are not responsible for delays or costs due to your country's customs. # Most countries charge some form of customs duties, taxes, VAT, or brokerage fees on items being shipped from the USA. # You are responsible to know what your country's importing rules and taxes state. # We declare all items for the winning bid amount. # We will not risk our ability to do business by falsifying any portion of the customs documents. # Please do not ask us to break the law by falsifying customs documents. # Declared value coverage or insurance is required on all international purchases. # We reserve the right to notify eBay and State and Federal authorities if we are requested to falsify federal documents. # If you wish your item sent to a colleague with a US address we are of course willing to do so. # Please note that shipping insurance is NOT available to all countries.
