Many famous rubies in crown jewels around the world are actually spinel, the most notable being the Black Prince's Ruby, a stunning 170-carat red spinel that currently adorns the Imperial State Crown in the British Crown Jewels after a long history: Henry V even wore it on his battle helmet! The Timur Ruby, a 352-carat red spinel now owned by Queen Elizabeth, has the names of some of the Mughal emperors who previously owned it engraved on its face! With a similar hardness and toughness as Corundum (Ruby and Sapphire), Spinel is often a more affordable substitute for the many shades of Corundum and also occurs with color change phenomena.
