Description

Outstanding bipyramidal noble spinel from Mogok, perfectly perched on matrix.
Gemmy all the way, lustrous and textbook in shape, the crystal shows a classical rounding at the edges. The color contrast is great and the pictures speak for themselves.
Hard to get material in this quality. This specimen comes from my personal crystallographic suite and it dates back to the early 2000s, when I was a mineralogy undergraduate.
