Black Spinel 4x6mm Faceted Rondelle - 15-16 Inch birthstone_chrysoprase in KareliaSpinel is a hard vitreous magnesium aluminum oxide, and comes in a range of other colors, but those varieties are transparent. Black Spinel not only has the dark color, but it is opaque as well, rendering its black especially deep and mysterious. Sometimes called the "Black Prince's Ruby" for its role in the English crown.
