A killer blood red, gem spinel crystal from Mogok Township, Myanmar (Burma). It displays a sharp octahedral crystal of 6mm, 1.25 carats. The quality is superb – it is transparent and gem with a gorgeous and rich blood red color. The faces are lustrous. A complete all over floater, like from a textbook. For references see the 2022 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 53, # 1. In excellent condition. With acrylic base – not glued.
Astonishing!
