The famed old Spinel locality of Amity was one of the first of the Eastern USA Classic locales. The exact original locality may be lost today but the Skarns in the area have yielded some nice Spinels from time to time. This is an older piece with fine octahedral Spinel crystals on a crystalline orange Chondrodite matrix. Ex Hladysz collection, this has sharp form, nice arrangement and excellent luster with no damage. Displays very well from several angles and better in person.

A very good example of Amity NY Spinel that was world famed when first found in the 1840's. The exact locale is now lost today, but occasional small finds are made in the area. This is an old specimen in fine condition, sharp, complete and with a nice contrast to the matrix.
