Item Description
Madagascar spinels of this large size are very uncommon. This sharp, lustrous, euhedral, black crystal has embedded feldspar. One contacted face shows the laminated nature of the crystal. The faded label dates to the 1960s, at the latest. It may be prior to World War II. An excellent, large and rare spinel.
