🌍 GENERAL MATERIAL DESCRIPTION

  • Material Name:Bitterfeld Smoky Spinel
  • Country of Origin : Germany
  • Growth Method: Flame Fusion

The Bitterfeld crystal-growing company in Germany has been closed for many years, making their material increasingly rare to find. We were fortunate to secure this batch from a European collector and were particularly excited by the smoky hue. This distinctive color is unlike anything produced by the Swiss company Djeva in their more recent offerings. We only managed to acquire a small amount of this vintage material, making it a special and scarce addition.
