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 lively glassy luster. The Mohs hardness is 7.5 to 8 – making spinel exceptionally robust and perfectly suited for delicate jewelry. Spinel comes in a wide range of colors: red, pink, orange, blue, violet, 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. Spinel of good quality is one of 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 from the Latin "spinella" (little thorn). Locations: Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Vietnam.

In chakra theory, spinel is assigned to different chakras depending on its color – it grounds, strengthens vitality, and helps you embark on new paths with energy and courage.
