Spinel is a captivating gemstone often mistaken for ruby or sapphire in history, thanks to its brilliant colors and high clarity. It’s a magnesium aluminum oxide mineral that forms in cubic (isometric) crystals, giving it excellent symmetry and sparkle.
Key points about spinel:
Color: Naturally occurs in a wide range—vivid red, pink, orange, purple, blue, violet, and even black. The most valued is a pure, vibrant red that rivals fine ruby.
Hardness: Durable at 8 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for daily wear.
Clarity & Luster: Usually eye-clean with a bright vitreous luster, and it can take a very high polish.
Sources: Found in Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Afghanistan, often in the same gravel beds as corundum.
History & Symbolism: Famous historical “rubies” such as the Black Prince’s Ruby in the British Crown Jewels are actually spinels. Symbolically linked to revitalization, energy, and harmony.
Uses: Popular in fine jewelry and increasingly appreciated by collectors for its natural, untreated beauty—unlike many corundum stones, spinel is rarely enhanced.

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.
