Description from the seller
190 g Natural Fluorescent Spinel Crystal Specimen on Matrix under UV Light– Badakhshan, Afghanistan
An impressive natural Spinel specimen from the Badakhshan Mines of Afghanistan, weighing 190 grams and measuring 65 × 51 × 50 mm. The specimen features several attractive purple Spinel crystals naturally attached to a white matrix, creating a beautiful contrast between the purple crystals and the surrounding rock.
The crystals display natural terminations and an appealing lustre, making this specimen particularly interesting for mineral collectors. Its most remarkable feature is its strong fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light, where the purple Spinel crystals show a striking red glow, as visible in the photographs. This fascinating fluorescent response adds another dimension to the specimen and makes it especially attractive for display under UV lighting.
The combination of multiple crystals, natural crystal formations, contrasting colors, and strong fluorescence makes this a distinctive collector's piece. It is self-standing and can be displayed easily in a mineral collection, cabinet, or showcase.
The Spinel is described as natural, purple in its original color, and unheated.
