Close up image of purple Spinel crystals. We will have these on our Live Sale tomorrow.🎉They come from Tanzania. Spinel is often used as a substitute for Rubies and Sapphires in faceted gemstone jewelry because it can cost less but look similar. The crystals often grow in Octahedrons as you can see here and are part of the cubic crystals system. Spinel is a great stone for rings as well because it is a 7.5 to 8 on the hardness scale. It ranges in colors from Black, Blue, Pink, Red, Green, Purple, Yellow, White, Orange, and Brown. - Spinel is a “stone of immortality”, bringing renewal to all endeavors and rejuvenation to that which is degrading. - - - #spinel #spinelcrystal #purplespinel #gems #gem #gemstones ##livesale #livesales #livecrystalsale #livecrystalsales #crystallivesale #crystallivesales #holidayshopping #mineral #minerals #mineralspecimens #mineralcollecting #mineralspecimen #healingstones #crystalhealing #crystalporn #crystalline #crystalvibes #crystalcommunity #crystallove #crystalsofig #crystalsofinstagram #crystalcollection #handsofspirit (at Boulder County Fairgrounds) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Ey3qSHxZW/?igshid=jgt5668qdw9o
