Very interesting, thank you Dave.
A number of the items in the recent auction of some of the Al Thani collection were spinels. Some of the highlights of the Christie's 2019 auction can be seen here https://www.christies.com/auctions/maharajas-and-mughal-magnificence
For those who are interested in reading more, GIA has several articles which are well worth reading, as they show the places where spinels are found and the variety of colours.
