Spinel (very large crystals) with Sapphire (Ref: 18.1-480)
Luc Yen, Yen Bai Province, Vietnam
76mm x 52mm x 43mm
A cluster of three main Spinel crystals up to 5.4 CM across showing a dark red-brown color. The specimen has a few associated crystals of dark Corundum (sapphire) that add contrast and interest. The condition is fine as seen and the whole is an impressive piece from most any angle. Older material, this from some of the early production of specimens at Luc Yen. Most faces show both smooth, glassy luster and some typical melted look in spots. Choice.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
