      That's it. 9 gallons would have sufficed as well.

      Not sure if this is what you're looking for but a spinel is a cubic crystalline oxide mineral. As far as I know it has one octahedral and 2 tetrahedral sites per unit.
      I would guess that a red spinel is a red version? :o

      MgAl2O4 in the cubic crystal system.

      It wasn't quite the answer I was expecting :D but yes, a spinel is a gemstone and a red spinel is similar in appearance to a ruby. Your turn!
