Description
An unusually fine and robust crystal showing the rare macle twin formation of spinel, and more importantly with a rich, even, unusual pink color that we rarely see in crystallized spinels. This color is more often seen in gem rough fragments, not natural crystals. 126 carats or approx. 25 grams.
