Large Spinel octahedron

Item Description

An impressive, large, partial spinel octahedron rests in marble matrix. The highly lustrous, partially translucenct has a rich lavender color. A portion of the crystal has an interesting stepped form with a cavern. Measure this out - it is very large and that is not an exaggeration! Seldom do you see such large spinels from this region, in particular. Highly representative large spinel.
