Star of David spinel

[Jopdrop]

Hey all, I am chasing a red Star of David spinel for my collection. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could look for one please?

A Cyclical Twin !

I know they exist ... just not too many ... Wouldn't know any better than ask a couple of mineral dealers who may have had some in the recent past (Betts & AmericanThai), and look among Mindat contributors for more, if needed ...

These are the three dealers I'd ask:

Good luck!

I assumed that he was looking for a twinned spinel crystal, like this one

Thanks guys! I've messaged those three guys on instagram, I'm also after a nice octahedron so I've asked about that as well. Hopefully I can find some nice specimens.
