Jedi Spinel from Man Sin, Myanmar: Color, Inclusion, and Chemical Features

In the present study, we collected and investigated spinels from Man Sin deposit in Myanmar using standard gemological testing, microscopic observation, EDXRF, Raman spectrometry. The color observation was performed under various lighting conditions to show differences. A very high Cr/Fe ratio is linked with exceptionally strong red fluorescence. Microscopic spectroscopy identified mineral inclusions of colorless phlogopite, molybdenite, hauerite, native sulfur, calcite. are typical Fe– Zn–poor spinels. Binary ternary diagrams were used discriminate each (i.e., Sin, Mogok, Namya Myanmar) reliability. Jedi spinel fever Asian market, due their unique neon appearance fluorescence, also discussed.
