Massive Mahenge Spinel Crystal from Tanzania – 96.35 grams

An exceptional and highly desirable Mahenge spinel crystal showcasing a rich reddish-pink color and impressive crystal form. This piece displays a classic octahedral habit with sharp geometric faces and a bold, saturated hue that Mahenge spinel is world-renowned for.

The crystal exhibits strong visual presence with its vivid color and semi-translucent body, allowing light to interact beautifully across its natural faces. Surface luster adds depth and character, making this a standout specimen for both collectors and gemstone enthusiasts.

One other neat feature is its bright red fluorescence under long-wave UV light, a hallmark trait of fine Mahenge material that adds another level of collectibility and visual appeal.

A rare opportunity to own a large, well-formed spinel crystal from one of the most famous gem-producing regions in the world.
