Another juicy red, macle-twinned Spinel with saturated, raspberry red color and sharply defined crystal faces and edges from Bill Larson's renowned Burma collection. It has an unusually robust and pronounced twin plane running through the middle of the crystal that's very evident in the video. This stunner has a mass of 28.1 grams. It has a dark classic spinel color. In your hands, it is very robust, and is really a miniature in size class.
