Welcome to SuchenGems!
Spinel is a hard, crystalline mineral that is used as a gemstone and is known for its wide range of colors:
Composition
Spinel is made up of magnesium and aluminum, with the chemical formula MgAl2O4.
Color
Spinel can be colorless, or it can range in color from red to lavender, violet, blue, green, brown, or black. The color of spinel is often due to chromium, similar to rubies and emeralds.
Crystal shape
Spinel crystals are octahedrons, which look like two pyramids back-to-back.
Hardness
Spinel has a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, making it a durable gem for jewelry.
Transparency
Spinel can be transparent to opaque, with a vitreous to dull luster.
Discovery
Before modern science, spinels and rubies were often confused for each other, and many famous "rubies" of history were actually spinels.
Birthstone
Spinel was recently added as an August birthstone, sharing the month with peridot and sardonyx.
