This specimen features semi lustrous black spinel crystals in classic octahedral form, reaching up to 2.0 cm in size and attractively displayed on matrix. Minor micro damage is present, however the crystals remain sharp and well defined, preserving strong overall visual appeal. Accompanied by an antique label dating to the early 20th century, visible at the end of the video, the piece carries added historical interest and documented provenance. A fine example of spinel from Quebec, this specimen represents a solid and collectible addition to any mineral collection.
