Matrix specimen of pitch black spinel var. pleonaste from this classic Alpine locale. On a fairly fragile matrix, it has been etched from the original calcite (not by me) to expose to lustrous spinel octahedra, which are very well developed.
A classic Italian oldtimer, increasingly scarce material.
