Item Description

A sharp, floater spinel octahedron from this obscure Tanzanian locale. The glassy, partially translucent crystal has vivid rose-pink color. The couple of gently bruised corners are certainly a very modest detraction to this choice and uncommon crystal. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. Rich strawberry-red fluorescence.
