Parallel growths of octahedral crystals with very well defined faces and edges, between transparent and translucent, very bright and with a luminous sky blue color. This shade is one of the less common for the species.
Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region (Mandalay Division) Myanmar (Burma) (2014)
Specimen size: 5.1 × 2.9 × 2.2 cm = 2.01” × 1.14” × 0.87”

MB37D8: Spinel (twinned) on Calcite

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.

TC90NDX: Spinel on Calcite

Very sharp octahedral Spinel crystals with well defined faces and edges, translucent, with bright luster and a very uniform mauve color. On matrix with white Calcite growths.

Specimen size: 4.7 × 4.3 × 1.5 cm = 1.85” × 1.69” × 0.59”

M60GC9: Spinel on Calcite

This Spinel is not only gemmy, but also extremely clear, standing upright on top of the Calcite. The crystal is complete, although as the photo shows, one corner is less sharp (more rounded) than the rest of the crystal faces. The light passes through this crystal so easily that it almost seems to be attracted by it!
Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region (Mandalay Division) Myanmar (Burma) (09/97)
Specimen size: 3 × 2.4 × 2.3 cm = 1.18” × 0.94” × 0.91”

AM97N4: Spinel on Calcite

Group of crystals of excellent color, luster and transparency, on Calcite matrix. The main crystal clearly shows, on its upper part, the twin that is named for the species (spinel twin)
Pein-Pyit, Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region (Mandalay Division) Myanmar (Burma) (2003)
Specimen size: 4.7 × 3 × 2.6 cm = 1.85” × 1.18” × 1.02”

Main crystal size: 0.6 × 0.4 cm = 0.24” × 0.16”

TP89E9: Spinel on Calcite

The Spinel crystal has a very flat look as one of the faces of the octahedron has grown far more than the others. This form, as well as the contrast of the red crystal with the white matrix, is probably the most notable thing about it. To this one can add the small flat Clinohumite on one of the upper faces of the Spinel crystal. In UV light the Spinel stands out even more as it is intensely fluorescent yellow.
Pein-Pyit, Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region (Mandalay Division) Myanmar (Burma) (1999)
Specimen size: 3.8 × 3.7 × 3.5 cm = 1.50” × 1.46” × 1.38”

Specimen size: 5.2 × 4.5 × 4.6 cm = 2.05” × 1.77” × 1.81”

MH96E8: Spinel with Calcite

An octahedral crystal, of good size, that is notable for its unusual color. At the same time the amount of the crystal that stands out from the marble matrix is significant and the crystal form is sharp with perfect faces and tips. Its brilliance adds that final touch. The small internal fracture near the tip, which you can only see given its transparency, does not detract from its high quality.
Oak-saung-taung, Mogok Valley, Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region (Mandalay Division) Myanmar (Burma) (2003)
Specimen size: 3.5 × 3 × 3.2 cm = 1.38” × 1.18” × 1.26”

MM52D7: Spinel with Calcite

A good size crystal of Spinel, really red, absolutely perfect, and set well apart from the matrix of white Calcite. Everything is good = a great specimen.
