Description

Incredibly large hercynite spinel from Premosello. This is a partial crystal, with very evident octahedral habitus and medium lustre on the faces. Despite not aesthetic, spinel crystals of this size are very rare from the Italian Alps. 
Dated back to the end of the 70s, it is a significant addition to every passionate Alpine collector.
