Spinel was often miss-labeled as Ruby in the past and to this day there are Spinels labeled as Rubies in the British crown jewels. Both the Black Prince's Ruby on the front of the imperial state crown and the Timur Ruby are actually SPINEL!! .The transparent red spinels were called spinel-rubies[11] or balas rubies.[12] In the past, before the arrival of modern science, spinels and rubies were equally known as rubies. After the 18th century the word ruby was only used for the red gem variety of the mineral corundum and the word spinel came to be used.[13] "Balas" is derived from Balascia, the ancient name for Badakhshan, a region in central Asia situated in the upper valley of the Panj River, one of the principal tributaries of the Oxus River. However, "Balascia" itself may be derived from Sanskrit bālasūryaka, which translates as "crimson-coloured morning sun".[14] Mines in the Gorno Badakhshan region of Tajikistan constituted for centuries the main source for red and pink spinels.
