S24746 – Spinel
This single is a gem of rich red and very choice for a Burmese spinel. The translucency is internally bright and every face is glossy and reflective with some added light. Ex Elaine Smith collection
S24368- Spinel
This spinel is stunning, with intense violet-pink hue and perfect condition. Crystals are vivid, with the glassiest faces and sharp octahedral form.
S22687 – Spinel
This Burmese specimen has a striking appearance of notably white contrast and vibrant cherry red. Mostly found in shades of pink, such glassy red spinel are remarkable to see.
S22688 – Spinel
This well formed, Burmese spinel crystal is full of quality. An exceptionally fine crystal of pretty fuchsia pink that is unusually bright and glassy. Quality ones are rare, and here is one that is gemmy throughout.
S22694 – Spinel
This fantastic specimen of spinel consists of gemmy deep pinkish red crystals glowing from calcite matrix. Quality is excellent and every face is glossy and lustrous.
S22696 – Spinel
This specimen of spinel is a beauty of exquisitely rich pigeon-blood red that is highly effective in the presence of contrasting calcite. Mostly found in shades of pink, such a red crystal is remarkable to see.
S21218 – Spinel
This single is a gem of rich red and very choice for a Burmese spinel. The translucency is internally bright and every face is glossy and reflective with some added light.
S14080 – Spinel
This elaborate and unique spinel is strikingly different from other crystals that come from the historic gem mining region in the Mogok valley of Myanmar (Burma). This lengthy style of spinel law twinning is unusual to see in a species that trends toward octahedral morphology. Mostly found in shades of red, such a PURPLE crystal is remarkable to see.
S12477 – Spinel
Early finds of Burmese spinel would be considered scraps today, it was not until the early 1990’s that top specimens
became available. Seen here is a "wet cherry" on top of calcite without any of the common brown overtones
making this the real deal! Burma tends to produce loose octahedrons that account for a lot of the production;
therefore, matrix is highly prized by collectors and for my personal taste one of the main ingredients. Crystal is 2.2
x 2 cm and well exposed.
S10415 – Spinel
This intense pigeon-blood red spinel is without any of the common brown overtones or shades of light pink. Burma tends to produce loose crystals and little matrix, so it is highly prized by collectors, and for my personal taste, IT MAKES THE PIECE. In addition to the RARE textbook forms of twinned and untwinned crystals placed adjacent to one another, which rarely comes this nice and sharply defined!
