Spinel (M920)
Pakistan

LOCATION
Aliabad marbles, Aliabad, Nagar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
SIZE
42 x 33 x 20 mm
DESCRIPTION
Blue is probably the rarest color for spinel. Here we see a large, shiny main crystal on a snow-white marble matrix. It reaches a diameter of 16 mm! This is a very impressive and rare size for blue spinel. The site is located in high alpine terrain and is difficult to access. The number of blue spinels is negligible! So we are dealing here with a great rarity, which is also impressive due to its crystal size and intensity.
