Item Description

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 specimen is a decent sized, fairly sharp and lustrous octahedral crystal of Spinel. The color is a dark pinkish-red hue. This locality has the potential to produce some SUPERB Spinels, and if they stay on the larger size and they get a bit more gemmy, they will set a new standard for the species.
