SPINEL (GAHNITE?)

Franklin, Sussex Co., NJ, USA

A large spinel octahedron in marble with

smaller octahedra. This crystal appears

to be black in the photo but is actually

dark blue. The confusion over the identity

of this spinel is caused by the color of the spinel and the lack of detailed locality information on this specimen.
