Black Spinel Bead Necklace featuring 42 x 10x8mm oval faceted black spinel beads individually knotted on black thread to a 29x14mm sterling silver hook clasp.

Black spinel is a highly durable, opaque, jet black gemstone with a hardness of 8.0 on the Mohs scale, making it excellent for daily wear and a popular, affordable alternative to black diamonds. It boasts a brilliant vitreous, or glassy, lustre when polished and is typically untreated. Known for its intense, pure black colour, it often sparkles more than other opaque stones when well-cut.

Black spinel is a protective, grounding stone often called the "stone of rejuvenation," prized for boosting physical vitality, clearing negative energy and reducing stress. It promotes emotional resilience, calm, and empowerment, making it a powerful tool for rebuilding strength during challenging times.
