The quartz host displays a granite-like texture with gemmy translucent zones highlighting the vivid cobalt-blue spinel spots, creating a natural spotted pattern often compared to Dalmatian stone. Mined in Madagascar, this stone is typically polished into decorative forms such as points, spheres, or free forms, showcasing the contrast between the dark blue inclusions and the surrounding quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED MINERALS \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eQuartz, Granite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED FEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFluorescent, Isometric\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eASSOCIATED COLOURS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlue, White, Grey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOHS HARDNESS SCALE\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLocality = Madagascar\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Good to Very Good Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 180 x 102 x 62 mm  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPINEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50643691241665,"sku":"153-165-260923BM","price":2150.4,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/153165_5.jpg?v=1727249194","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/polished-large-blue-spinel-spotted-quartz-standing-display-piece-x-1-from-madagascar-1","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
