Lot of 3 Spinel-twinned crystals. Slight edge/tip damage, but overall very good. These were first discovered in 2001 and are found mostly of industrial quality. Though they don't get very large, the color is spectacular. Very good color and transparent (I have noticed that the spinel-twins have the best transparency). Studies have shown these to be very high in Zinc and could be labelled as Gahnite.
