ex. Jason New collection Very closely resembling Christmas trees is this aesthetic cluster of parallel growth, spinel twinned, lustrous, copper crystals with variegated patina. The largest of the spinel twins measures 5.0 cm in length. True there are larger groups, rarely available, but for sheer quality and beauty, this specimen is just hard to beat. It is one of the most elegant such specimens I have seen, and is a large miniature or small small cab. It has much more style than most, as they tend to be singles and this is a nice triple!
