AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This time I got something special for You:
A unique and colorful combination of vivid red spinel crystals, orange clinohumite, and pargasite on a snowy white calcite matrix. The spinels fluoresce an intense red under UV light, adding visual interest for collectors. This fine-quality piece originates from the Minh Tien Mine, Luc Yen District, Yen Bai Province, Vietnam — a renowned source of gem minerals. A striking and rare specimen with excellent color contrast and form.
I'm trying to show You specimens and crystals hand selected, not usual, beautiful and pricey. condition as on pictures.
Color is very difficult to reproduce in the pictures. Some pictured specimens show slightly different shades that seen with a human eye. Generally in my opinion the colors in reality are slightly prettier.
