Spinel on Pyrrhotite
This is probably my favorite of the lot, for the sheer statrling contrast of the totally GEM CLEAR crystal on bright golden pyrrhotite (here, the contrast is most stark because the pyrrhotite is so bright and golden in color compared to others in the lot). This one features a dramatic single 7 mm gem crystal atop a perch of massive pyrrhotite. I had never seen spinel from here, nor spinel on pyrrhotite (or other sulfides) from anywhere. The contrast is striking and , luckily, the spinels are of gem quality so these are good specimens on their own and not just new "locality pieces." These gem crystals have a unique lavender hue that sets them apart from other spinels we have seen out of Mogok and Sri Lanka.
