A cool gem spinel crystal from Mogok Township, Myanmar (Burma). It displays a sharp octahedral crystal of 6mm, 1.35 carats. The quality is superb – it is transparent and gem with a marvelous raspberry-purple 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.
Splendid!
