Description

Curundum, var Ruby

A beautiful, hexagonal, partially gemmy, lustrous, classic red ruby crystal.

It is surrounded on all sides with wildly complimentary platy, green mavinite blades. Mavinite is a unique green brittle mica found only at Karnataka, India. It is intermediate between "xanthophyllite" (= clintonite) and chloritoid and is not recognized as a distinct mineral species. Irregardless, this is a  rare and showy example of the combination species and locale.
