Spinel on pyrrhotite
Asia
A superb single 16.5 mm crystal atop a perch of massive pyrrhotite, from the old find in Tajikistane.A superb single 16.5 mm crystal atop a perch of massive pyrrhotite, from the old find in Tajikistane. There are another gemy spinel crystals on the matrix. I had never seen spinel on pyrrhotite (or other sulfides) from anywhere. These gem crystals have a unique lavender hue that sets them apart from other spinels we have seen out of Mogok and Sri Lanka.
