Item Description
It has been next to impossible to obtain fine quality Spinel specimens from Burma these days it seems. This piece hosts a classic 1.0 cm Burmese Sapphire crystal with an unusual color variation from yellow to pink on grey Calcite matrix.. This piece was mined around 2000. Good specimens on this material are hard to find on the market.
