Spinel crystal necklace 5-7 mm - 925 sterling silver gold-plated

In this gemstone necklace, spinel presents itself as an expressive crystal chain with 5 to 7 mm stones. The crystals vary slightly in size, creating a lively, organic appearance – each crystal unique, each a spark of light. The gold-plated magnetic clasp made of 925 sterling silver provides an elegant, comfortable finish. Spinel is a magnesium aluminum oxide (MgAl₂O₄) from the oxide group, which crystallizes in the cubic system and often forms beautiful octahedral crystals. Mohs hardness: 7.5–8, vivid vitreous luster. Spinel comes in a broad spectrum of colors – red, pink, orange, blue, violet, black to colorless – depending on trace elements. Red spinel was historically often confused with ruby: The famous "Black Prince's Ruby" in the British Imperial State Crown is actually a spinel. Its name is derived from the Greek "spinos" (spark) or the Latin "spinella" (little thorn). Locations: Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Vietnam.

Significance in crystal healing

In crystal healing, spinel is considered a stone of courage, joie de vivre, and inner renewal. It is said to bestow courage and optimism, facilitate the handling of change, and strengthen self-confidence as well as inner balance. Depending on the color, it is associated with different chakras. These attributions are based on handed-down tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
