About Spinel:
Spinel gemstones are truly remarkable, being 100 times rarer than Rubies and Sapphires while offering a more affordable alternative due to their lesser-known status. Spinels are often found in close proximity to Rubies and Sapphires in mines, and their mineral composition closely resembles that of Corundum. Despite their rarity, Spinels remain relatively affordable in comparison to other precious gemstones.
Legend and Lore:
Spinel is attributed with various metaphysical properties, with beliefs suggesting that it can revitalize and re-energize individuals. It is thought to alleviate stress and anxiety, provide inspiration, and instill hope. Some say that Spinel can promote new perspectives and resilience, helping individuals face life's challenges with determination and optimism. Additionally, it is believed to stimulate energy flow through the chakras and encourage kundalini energies to rise along the spine. Spinel is said to enhance positive traits, foster humility in success, and facilitate acceptance of failures with a positive outlook.
