Spinel – Lec Yen, Yenbai, Vietnam
 
This 7.5 cm spinel crystal impresses with a rarely seen aesthetic. Apart from its flawless color and luster, this unique piece is particularly impressive due to its size. While one side has a perfectly sharp edge and shows the classic crystal shape of spinel, the other side is skeletonized in the most wonderful way. The dissolution of the crystal structure during growth results in countless, reflectively lustrous surfaces. 
All-round perfect specimen with the best luster, color and aesthetics in an impressively rare size!
