About This Collection

Black Spinel is a magnesium aluminium oxide mineral that forms in metamorphic and igneous rocks, typically in association with corundum, dolomite, and other minerals under high temperature and pressure conditions. Its deep, opaque black colour comes from high concentrations of iron within its crystal structure. It crystallises in the cubic system, often forming octahedral crystals, and has a vitreous lustre that gives it a striking, glassy appearance when polished. Historically, Black Spinel was often mistaken for Black Tourmaline or other dark gemstones due to its similar appearance, but it is a distinctly different mineral with its own unique properties.
