Item Description
An outstanding and aesthetic thumbnail cluster of sharp, gemmy and lustrous, vivid cherry-red, spinel octahedrons from Mogok. The complete all-around and pristine cluster is dominated by the large 2.5 cm octahedron, which is fairly large for the locale. The backlit photo highlights the gorgeous color and gemminess of this very fine piece. Valued at $600-800, as very little new material is coming from Burma (Myanmar) with the trade embargo. ex Sam Nasser thumbnail collection
