Résumé     
The Luc Yen district of northern Vietnam is a very productive gem province and the leading source of vivid blue spinel. This study characterizes the origin and gemological properties of these spinels, especially the cause of their unusually bright color, which is directly related to their value. Chemical and spectroscopic analyses indicated that the blue color is due to cobalt (Co2+), with some iron contribution. Petrographic examination identified the context of the gem's formation, which appears to be linked to intense metamorphism during successive orogenies. The carbonate platforms in the ancient Paleo-Tethys Ocean were sandwiched and highly deformed during this orogeny, leading to marble and spinel formation. The authors propose that the cobalt (and to a lesser extent the iron) necessary for the blue color were transported by fluids during metamorphism of the sedimentary sequence.
