Mineralogical Properties

Spinel is a magnesium-aluminum oxide (MgAl₂O₄) and belongs to the oxide group. It crystallizes in the cubic system and often forms octahedral crystals with a characteristic vivid vitreous luster. Its Mohs hardness ranges from 7.5 to 8, making spinel exceptionally robust and highly suitable for jewelry. Spinel comes in a wide range of colors: red, pink, orange, blue, purple, black, and colorless – depending on trace elements in the crystal lattice. Red spinel was historically often confused with ruby – for example, the famous "Black Prince's Ruby" in the British Crown Jewels is actually a spinel. Good quality spinel is among the most valuable gemstones and is rarely found in the form of larger crystals. Its name is derived either from the Greek "spinos" (spark, sparkle) or the Latin "spinella" (little thorn). Locations: Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Vietnam.

Healing & Energetic Properties

In lithotherapy, spinel is considered a stone of courage, joy of life, and inner renewal. The following effects are attributed to it:

• Grants courage, joy of life, and an optimistic attitude
• Helps to release stress and fears and find inner lightness
• Facilitates dealing with changes and new life stages – both privately and professionally
• Strengthens self-confidence and assertiveness
• Promotes clarity and steadfastness in thoughts and actions
• Shields against external influences and negative energies
• Considered a stone of meditation and inner balance
• Accompanies self-therapy and strengthens the soul in challenging times

In chakra theory, spinel is assigned to various chakras depending on its color – it grounds, strengthens vitality, and helps you embark on new paths with energy and courage. The large crystals of 5 to 7 mm make this necklace a particularly expressive statement piece that uniquely combines strength and elegance.
