Spinel var. Pleonaste

Antsiriky, Tuléar (Toliara) Province, Madagascar

4.5cm x 3.9cm x 2.9cm

Ex. Ward's


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic, old time example of pleonaste spinel from Madagascar!!! Pleonaste spinels are known for their complexly modified habits and this specimen exhibits characteristic complexity for the varietal!!! This specimen consists of a partial single greenish-tan crystal that exhibits a complexly modified octahedral habit!!! The crystal has sharp, glassy faces and, upon close study in person one can see that the outermost millimeter of the crystal is actually water-clear!!! This unique feature gives an almost glazed-china like appearance!!! This specimen retains an antique Ward's label as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED THIS WEEK, ALL ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 30th!!!
