Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pyrrhotite, Spinel
Locality: Kuch-i-Lal, Ishkashim District, Western Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan
Size: miniature, 3.2 x 3.2 x 2.8 cm
Spinel on Pyrrhotite
Few specimens had more than one crystal exposed on matrix, that I know of from this find. This one features a dramatic single 8 mm gem crystal atop a perch of massive pyrrhotite, with a secondary crystal as well (not as gemmy, but still colorful and a nice accent). I had never seen spinel from here, nor spinel on pyrrhotite (or other sulfides) from anywhere. The contrast is striking and , luckily, the spinels are of gem quality so these are good specimens on their own and not just new "locality pieces." These gem crystals have a unique lavender hue that sets them apart from other spinels we have seen out of Mogok and Sri Lanka.
