Item Description

Every once in a while I like to throw a gem CRYSTAL into the gemstone auctions. A piece like this would make a great match for a rough and cut Spinel set. This piece is not a faceted stone, but rather a gem quality Ruby Spinel crystal that would easily be wirewrapped into a great piece of jewelry, or used as a reference piece to match a gemstone that you might have from this well known gem district. The crystal has a very attractive red color and is pretty sharp, unlike many of the rounded crystals that are found in the various streams in Burma where this material originates.
