Perhaps the world's most famous gem, the Black Prince's Ruby (front, center), is actually a large red spinel. Its history is documented back to 1366 AD. Today it is mounted on the front of Britain's Imperial State Crown, which is located in the Tower of London. Britain's Imperial State Crown contains more famous gems than virtually any other ornament in the world, including the Black Prince's Ruby, the Stuart Sapphire (not visible), St. Edward's Sapphire (on top) and the Cullinan II diamond (below the Black Prince's Ruby).
