Spinel is a mineral that owes its beautiful color to chromium, much like rubies and emeralds do. It has a hardness of 8 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamond has a hardness of 10). Spinel is seen in a wide range of colors: red, lavender, violet, blue, green, brown, black.
Mahenge spinel is a highly prized variety of spinel known for its vibrant, neon pink to intense red hues, originating from the Mahenge region in Tanzania. Renowned for exceptional brilliance, high saturation, and being generally untreated, these gemstones are popular for fine jewelry
. They are recognized as some of the world's finest spinels.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
