Origins and Properties:

Red Spinel, scientifically known as magnesium aluminum oxide, belongs to the spinel mineral family. It derives its mesmerizing red color from traces of chromium or iron present within the crystal structure. It boasts an impressive hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, rendering it highly durable and suitable for various jewelry applications.

Red Spinel is often mistaken for rubies due to its striking crimson hue. In fact, some of history's most famous rubies, such as the Black Prince's Ruby in the British Imperial State Crown, are actually Red Spinels. However, Red Spinel possesses distinct characteristics that set it apart, including its unique fluorescence and a higher refractive index compared to rubies.
