Item Description

Gahnite is the Zn-rich member of the Spinel Group and is fairly uncommon worldwide. This textbook, doubly terminated, sharp, lustrous, blue-black octahedron is from an obcure Ratnapura locale, where gahnite is RARE. Little sharp side cars are a super accent. Three sides are pristine, with the contact lower on the back being out-of-sight in the display view. Fine and rare spinel from this locale.
