Gem quality purple Spinel on matrix. A rarely seen and colorful gem crystal on matrix. The main crystal is 11x10x7mm in size and transparent. The backside is flat and the crystal sticks out off the matrix, but is undamaged. It was etched out of Calcite and the gap behind it is where the Calcite was formerly located. Aside from it's natural beauty, there is intrinsic gem value in the main crystal.
