Mineral specimens search results for [ Spinel (twinned) ]

The Myanmar spinels are well known for their quality, color and transparency. We have seen quite a few specimens, and very rarely, we come across twinned spinels. In this case, the twin is very clear, and its form is very well-defined. The color is also magnificent and it is accompanied by other un-twinned Spinel crystals that are also of a good color.

MD96D8: Twinned Spinel

The Myanmar Spinels are well known for their quality, color and transparency. We buy quite a few and from time to time we come across the rare cases where the Spinel is a twin. This is the case here, but this time the twin is more complex (crystallographically speaking) than the other ones we see. Unusual.
