Description/Interesting Notes:
A remarkable example of ruby spinel in gem phlogopite from Mogok!!! This specimen consists of a stark-white calcite matrix that hosts a thick, tabular
crystal of gem phlogopite that is prominently included with a striking ruby red spinel crystal!!! The gem phlogopite crystal is thick, lustrous, and
gem clear!!! The spinel crystal has a highly complex, somewhat compressed habit and a small portion of it actually protrudes from the phlogopite crystal!!! There
are also a few smaller spinel crystals included within the phlogopite as well!! This specimen has gorgeous color and a glowing translucence in person!!!
Simply a gorgeous combo indeed!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 5th!!!
