Item Description
A good example of the now well known Spinel specimens from Vietnam. This specimen came out of the ground about around 2007, and is one of the better cabinet matrix specimens I have offered from this locality in the auctions. Dozens of pinkish-red octahedral crystals of Spinel measuring up to 1.4 cm sitting atop a matrix of contrasting feldspar. Crystallized Spinel with this color is not common in the world.
