Spinel doubly terminated These are very well-formed crystals

These are very well-formed crystals and are only very slightly skeletal or hoppered

The combination of the incredibly well-formed faces against the skeletal / "hoppered" formations of the twin itself is striking and very well-pronounced in this specimen

Epidote is one of the most well-known of all the Alpine cleft species in the world

Spinel doubly terminated These are very well-formed crystalsHere we have a fantastic nearly full sized thumbnail crystal of Spinel from Mogok. In reflected light, the exterior almost has a purple color, but with decent backlighting, you can see strong red pink color coming through in areas. The piece is in good shape, but there are a few minor imperfections here there that keep it from being a complete "floater". I think my favorite aspect of the piece is the fact that there is a "hollow" area on the underside
