Gem-quality spinels are found in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, amongst other places. Beautiful spinels are also found in Africa, with major deposits in Madagascar and Kenya. This natural origin makes every spinel unique and special, shaped by the power of the earth over millions of years.

The name is probably derived from the Latin word spina, which means “thorn”, referring to the stone’s sharp crystal forms. Due to its deep colours, spinel was often mistaken for ruby in the past, with the result that some historical “rubies” later turned out to be spinels. Nowadays, however, spinel is valued precisely for its own unique beauty and energy.

General operation

Spinel is a remarkable gemstone known as the stone of immortality. For centuries, this powerful stone has been prized for its revitalising and rejuvenating energy. It helps to reduce stress and supports you in dealing with fears, enabling you to experience greater inner peace and balance. The energy of this stone primarily affects the root chakra and provides strength, courage and stability during challenging times, such as major changes or emotional processes.

From a spiritual perspective, spinel helps you discover new perspectives. The stone stimulates personal growth and encourages you to look to the future with confidence. When you’re feeling low or tense, spinel can get your energy flowing again and help you let go of negative thoughts. Furthermore, this gemstone is known for its ability to attract success, vitality and prosperity.

Red Spinel has a strong connection with Kundalini energy. This powerful life force can flow upwards through the spine, thereby strengthening your spiritual awareness and inner strength. At the same time, spinel helps to cleanse the aura and release energetic blockages, allowing your energy to flow more freely.
