LocalitiesMinh Tien Mine, Lục Yên District, Yên Bái Province, Vietnam

According to the description we have this mine is a tourmaline pegmatite and " Ruby and spinel specimens are not from Minh Tien, but from marbles at the nearby village of An Phu." If this is true think I think we whould move all the marble species to An Phu. What do people know?

Hi Rob,

It seems that Ruby, Spinel and Feldspar occur together with tourmaline in Minh Tien, you can refer to the paper: Update on Gemstone Mining in Luc Yen, Vietnam by Pham Van Long, Vincent Pardieu and Gaston Giuliani in Gems & Gemstone Winter 2013, in particular Fig.4 and pages 235-236 of the paper.


I have also brought here in HCMC a very nice sample coming from Minh Tien with few quite big spinel crystals with muscovite, see attachments.








Hope this could be of help.


Best regards

Mario
