Description from the seller

Corundum Pseudomorph after Spinel – Mahenge, Morogroro, Tanzania

In a very interesting new find from September 2021, corundum pseudomorph after spinel was discovered for the first time in Tanzania and was presented at the Tucson Gem Show 2022. This 2.2 cm crystal vividly displays the milky pink color produced by the transformation. A mineralogical rarity with good aesthetics.

Mentioned in the Tucson 2022 trade fair report (Lapis 03/22)
