Description:It has been next to impossible to obtain fine quality Spinel specimens from Burma these days it seems. This piece hosts a classic Burmese Spinel crystal with fairly sharp, defined, octahedral faces and a deep red color. This piece was mined around 2000. The best of these specimens are simply the finest in the world for what they are. This is an example of a non-pegmatite gem mineral for which many collectors probably do have a good representation in their collections.
