✨ Did You Know? Black Spinel Trivia

• Black spinel is one of the few truly black gemstones that occurs naturally — its colour comes from iron and chromium within its crystal structure.
• It scores 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it more durable than many popular gemstones including tanzanite and opal.
• Historically, black spinel was often mistaken for black sapphire or black diamond — it has only recently gained recognition as a prized gemstone in its own right.
• Unlike treated black stones, high-quality black spinel achieves its intense colour naturally, with no heat treatment required.
• Black spinel is associated with protection and grounding energy, and has been used in jewellery for centuries across Asia and the Middle East.
