Item Description

Small dark blue Spinel octahedra intergrown to create this micro specimen. The piece came to Rich Kosnar from noted New Jersey collector Pat Gross, and her original colorless plastic mounting box accompanies the piece. A cool specimen of this classic material. Pat's original handwriting can still be seen on the label, which states that the piece was mined in 1960.
