Spinel
Sparkling Black
The black spinel from India captivates with its deep, dark, sophisticated luster and timeless elegance. It owes its intense color to natural iron content, which stylishly accentuates the beauty of its wearer. As a robust gemstone with high hardness, black spinel is a reliable companion for every day. It is often chosen as an alternative to the black diamond and combines exceptional aesthetics with impressive durability.
Effect
The stone is said to alleviate fears and provide support during difficult phases of life. It is also believed to strengthen the immune system, activate self-healing powers, and promote concentration and abstract thinking.
History
In mineralogical literature, the term spinel first appeared in 1546 in a work by the German mineralogist Georgius Agricola, at that time still under the name Spinella. Like the diamond, it is very robust against external influences due to its hardness.
