Six natural, blue colored spinel crystals were studied chemically by electron microprobe and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) techniques and optically by UV-VIS-NIR-MIR spectroscopy in the range 30,000-2,000 cm(-1) to investigate the causes of their blue color hues. The positions of the absorption bands vary only marginally with the principal composition of the samples (gahnite vs. spinel s.s.). Although blue colors in spinels are frequently the result of various electronic processes in Fe cations, we demonstrate by comparison with synthetic Co-bearing samples that Co acts as an important chromophore also in natural spinels. Already at concentration levels of a few ppm (e.g., > 10 ppm), cobalt gives rise to absorption bands at similar to 18,000, 17,000 and 16,000 cm(-1) that result in distinct blue coloration. In spinels with insignificant Co contents, different shades of paler blue (from purplish to greenish blue) colors are caused by electronic transitions in Fe-T(2+), Fe-M(2+), Fe-M(3+) and Fe2+-Fe3+ cation pairs.
