Summary

Description
English: Spinel
Locality: Luc Yen, Yenbai (Yen Bai) Province, Vietnam (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 10.2 x 7.6 x 7.3 cm.
Recently, the various gem tracts around Luc Yen have produced some impressive Spinel crystals. These are easily some of the largest individual Spinel crystals to come out of any locality. This specimen hosts a good sized, lustrous, sharp octahedral crystal of Spinel. The color shifts from a pinkish-red to an orange-red depending upon the light, and it measures 3.4 cm across. It is not at all brown like so many I've seen from this locality, but the most appealing aspect is the fact that it's on matrix. The main crystal has a few associated smaller Spinel crystals surrounding it. This locality has the potential to produce some superb Spinels, and if they stay this size, they will set a new standard for the species.
