Item Description
A rare and outstanding gem spinel thumbnail from Luc Yen. This rare tabular octahedron has exceptional gemminess with fine rose-pink color saturation and high luster. One face has striking stepped-growth face, while the other is quite smooth. The attachment point is at the base. Vietnam spinels with this gemminess, color and form are RARE. 16.13 carats mass or over 3 grams. Valued at $1000. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! The gemminess and luster made photography difficult.
