Spinel - dark blue to purple crystals
Pein Pyit, Mogok, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District
Mandalay Division, Myanmar (Burma)
4.8 x 4.3 x 3.3 CM (miniature)
price: $340
New Year 22
Glassy octahedral crystals of Spinel from the famed gem regions of Mogok in Myanmar. At first glance this looks almost black but under good light the color is a blue to purple-red color in zones and the crystals are transparent to translucent. In person the luster is brilliant and the condition is also very fine. These crystals have the typical rounded or melted look in some places but are very sharp on most edges. Much of the Spinel from Mogok is vividly fluorescent red, this is not, but under long wave is an unusual pale green. 60.45 grams overall there are a few areas of gem clarity but most is included. A nice and very unusual Mogok Spinel.
