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 pieces hosts a group of rather lustrous, translucent, very sharp octahedral crystals of Spinel free of matrix. The color is a lovely reddish "Ruby Spinel" hue. This locality has the potential to produce some SUPERB Spinels, but they seem to be dwindling on the market.
