PARGASITE ON COBALT SPINEL – VIETNAM – RARE
$525.00
For sale is a pargasite on cobalt spinel from Vietnam. Pargasite which is a quite rare mineral in its own right, is featured here sitting on electric blue spinel, this is a very very uncommon combination of minerals. I think this is the only location this combo has been recorded anywhere in the world, and the combo has only been found at one location in Vietnam! Try and find another anywhere! I purchased this from among a lot of about 8 pieces, this was the finest available.

I think this is the only location this combo has been recorded anywhere in the world, and the combo has only been found at one location in Vietnam! Try and find another anywhere! I purchased this from among a lot of about 8 pieces, this was the finest available. There is a decent display of both minerals, which contrast against the snow white marble/calcite. Interestingly the spinel which fluoresces a vibrant red, is accompanied by the pargasite fluorescing brightish white with a hint of yellow! I have never seen fluorescent pargasite before. Please remember our prices are in Australian dollars.
