Spinel

Spinel is a striking mineral prized for its sharp crystal forms, exceptional brilliance, and wide spectrum of colors. While most famous for vivid reds, spinel also occurs in pinks, blues, purple, black, and gray. It commonly forms as octahedral crystals in metamorphic rocks and marble deposits, often alongside corundum. Long mistaken for ruby in historic crown jewels, spinel is now prized in its own right for its durability and intense natural color.
