Item Description

Recently, the various gem tracts around Luc Yen have produced some impressive Spinel crystals. These are easily some of the largest individual Spinel crystals to come out of any locality. This is a 15 piece set of lustrous, sharp octahedral pink to orange to reddish Spinel crystals. The crystals are well-formed for the most part and nearly complete all the way around. They are not at all brown like so many I've seen from this locality either. This locality has the potential to produce some SUPERB Spinels, and if they stay on the bigger side of things, they will set a new standard for the species.
