  Black Spinel ~ 0.95ct

Dramatic!

Black spinel stone is a rare gemstone made up of hard vitreous magnesium aluminum oxide or magnesium aluminate. Specifically, black spinel is one of the rarest minerals that comes from the Spinel family and is a true gemstone often confused with black tourmaline.

There is no documentation as to whether this is an untreated/non-synthetic stone.  However, based upon other stones in the lot from which this item is a part, it is safe to assume that this stone is untreated/non-synthetic.

Additionally…

The proper way to analyze whether Spinel is real is to put it under a UV Radiation Light. Set it to long-wave and look for any stones that are particularly “glowy”. If the stones are “glowy”, that may imply that they are synthetic and not natural.

According to TCA's own long-wave UV emitter, this stone did not appear "glowy".  However, without a proper chemical analysis this is all we can definitively claim.
