    Spinel is a group of metal oxide minerals that have a cubic crystal structure. Spinel has the chemical composition MgAl2O4 and is red, yellow, orange or red in color. It has a hardness of 7.5-8 and lacks cleavage. Chromite is a member of the spinel group and has the chemical composition FeCr2O4. It is dark brown or black in color and commonly found in ultramafic igneous rocks. Chromite crystals are uncommon and usually occur as granular masses or disseminated granules.

    Chromite
    A member of The Spinel Group, Chromite is an iron chromium oxide. Crystal of
    chromite are uncommon, and are usuallyeither massive as lenses and tabular
    bodies, or disseminated as granules and streaks. It is dark brown to black and can
    contain some magnesium and alumunium. Chromite is most commonly found as
    an accessory mineral in ultramafic igneous rocks, or concentrated occurs as
    sedimentary.
