Item Description
Spinels are typically found as single isolated octahedral crystals. This crystal is a classic Burmese "Ruby Spinel" with rather sharp, lustrous faces, and a lovely gemmy strong red interior color. A great quality twinned crystal for the species. This piece was mined around 2003. The best of these specimens are simply the finest in the world for what they are. This is an example of a non-pegmatite gem mineral for which many collectors probably do not have a good specimen in their collections
