Can someone tell me the main differences between sapphire and spinel? I read that spinel is rare, why is it cheaper than sapphires? Is it just an awareness issue about spinel among the general public?
If you had a choice between a sapphire and a spinel and it was the only "expensive" gem you were going to buy for awhile, which would you choose? I have never seen a spinel in real life, but love what I see on here in photos of rings and things.
