Spinel

Burma, Indocina - 6x6x5 cm

This spinel from Burma is a real gemstone: if you were a jeweller, you could simply separate it from the matrix and put it on a ring without any additional effort! I purchased it at the Bologna Mineral Show in 2009. The crystal has a good size (0.9 cm), a perfect shape and a top-quality depth of color. Unlike most of similar specimens, the edges are not curved and the lightness is incredible. No comments on the contrast with the snow white matrix: look at the pictures and... dream!
