Spinel ("Ruby Spinel")

Item Description

The various gem tracts around Luc Yen have produced some impressive Spinel crystals. These are easily some of the largest individual Spinel crystals to come out of any locality. This specimen features a group of good sized, rather sharp, lustrous, sharp octahedral crystals of Spinel or "Ruby Spinel". The color is a strong pink-red hue throughout and the largest octahedron measures 1.1 cm. This locality has the potential to produce some SUPERB Spinels, and if they stay on the larger size, they will set a new standard for the species.
