Spinel
A HUGE spinel for the locale with unusual hot pink-red color. The central crystal in the cluster is to 5 cm on edge and nearly pristine (just a minor amount of insignificant edge wear exists). These were found recently, in the end of 2009. This cluster is 162 grams and complete all around, very 3-dimensional. And NOTE when cut, the finest of this locality of the hot strawberry pinks bring up to $25, 000 a carat! There are probably gem zones inside if you cab it - small ones anyhow. But most specimens from this find are small and partial. Large crystals like this were exceedingly rare. This is one of the largest my sources know of from the find in complete and specimen-worthy quality
