An Phú

Mindat lists 27 minerals from the site, with the most commonly available online being corundum and spinel.

The ruby from the site is not typically of a gem grade – it is commonly an opaque pink to red colour and isn’t particularly well formed. The spinel, on the other hand, often forms in quality octahedral crystals.
