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 good sized, fairly lustrous, sharp octahedral crystal of Spinel. The color is a dark reddish hue. It is not at all brown like so many I've seen from this locality. This locality has the potential to produce some SUPERB Spinels, and if they stay this size, they will set a new standard for the species.
