A large octahedral crystal of spinel from the famous gem tract of Burma. This spinel is partially hollow and you can see inside to its core through one narrow tunnel. Sometimes, these start to be replaced by corundum to form pseudomorphs once they begin to go hollow - though I do not see any blue corundum inside so it seems pure spinel still. Ex. Ed David Collection, purchased from Cal Graeber in 1998.
