Spinel on Calcite

Dimensions: 4.2 x 2.4 x 3.5cm
Location: Pein-Pyit, Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region, Myanmar (Burma)
Remarkable quality, especially for this size of crystallization. The color of a very deep red (a beautiful ruby red, typical of the very good Burmese Spinels from Mogok, much better than those from Vietnam, more pink), the gem, the shine, everything comes together for this crystal arranged perfectly on its calcite matrix. This kind  of specimen is quite rare on the market and sometimes of an inaccessible price. Here the value for money is perfect, a mineralogical jewel in a window! (crystal 1.5cm)  Ex. J. Claramonte Collection
 Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
The mineral is not stuck to the base (soft putty).
