Black Spinel Cube Beads for Jewelry Making

Spinel is a hard vitreous magnesium aluminum oxide, and comes in a range of other colors, but those varieties are transparent. Black Spinel not only has the dark color, but it is opaque as well, rendering its black especially deep and mysterious. Sometimes called the "Black Prince's Ruby" for its role in the English crown. It has been mistaken for ruby and sapphire at times, but can be distinguished by its structure and its lower relative hardness.

Predrilled holes make these 2mm cube table cut beads perfect for creating your own unique jewelry pieces!

Sold as 20 beads per package.
