However, in such conventional colored alumina sintered bodies and colored zirconia sintered bodies, the crystal type of the alumina and zirconia used as the base material is not cubic, so they are subject to scattering at grain boundaries.
Furthermore, it has been difficult to obtain a material with high light transmittance because the crystal types of the second phase, which is a coloring component, and the base material are different, and scattering occurs even at these grain boundaries.

In the method of the present invention, spinel powder and coloring component powder are mixed, the mixed powder is compacted by pressure molding, and after performing binder removal treatment if necessary, pressureless sintering is performed. It is preferable that the molded body has a relative density ratio of 55% or more, and for this purpose 1.
