Pink Spinel

Science & Origin

Pink Spinel forms in magnesium-rich metamorphic rocks, particularly marble and granulite, through high-temperature regional metamorphism. Pink Spinel crystallizes in the cubic system as octahedral and dodecahedral crystals, displaying exceptional clarity and brilliance. Its mineral composition consists of magnesium aluminum Oxide, with trace amounts of Chromium creating the characteristic pink coloration. Pink Spinel ranks 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it durable enough for daily wear in jewelry. Historically confused with Ruby throughout centuries, Pink Spinel was finally recognized as a distinct mineral species in 1783 by jean baptiste louis romé de l'isle. Many famous crown jewels once attributed to Ruby, including stones in the british crown jewels, were later identified as Pink Spinel. Its vitreous luster and high refractive index produce exceptional sparkle that rivals precious gemstones. Pink Spinel occurs in alluvial deposits alongside other metamorphic minerals, where weathering releases crystals from their host marble matrix.
