Black Spinel - Gemstones TV

Black Spinel, a member of the spinel mineral family, derives its name from the Latin word "spinella," meaning thorn or arrow. Its formation traces back to the depths of the earth's crust, where under intense pressure and heat, elements align to create its mesmerizing crystalline structure. Unlike other gemstones, Black Spinel owes its color not to impurities but to its intrinsic composition, with traces of iron and chromium infusing it with its signature dark hue.
