Spinel
Spinel is a striking gemstone that comes in a range of colors, including red, pink, blue, and black, often mistaken for rubies and sapphires in history due to its similar appearance. Historically, famous red spinels, like the "Black Prince's Ruby" in the British Crown Jewels, were believed to be rubies until modern gemology identified them as spinel. Found primarily in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania, spinel is prized for its brilliance, durability, and affordability. With a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, spinel is quite durable and suitable for various types of jewelry. It is often associated with revitalization, energy, and protection. In recent years, spinel has gained popularity as an alternative to more traditional gemstones and is also one of the birthstones for August
