Beauteous specimen of gem Spessartine Garnet crystals to 4mm growing on Microcline base with Quartz. Spessartine crystals are well isolated and perfectly gem with rich orange color. They have rhombic dodecahedron habit and sharp shape. Some Smoky Quartz is seen too. The color and the glassy gemminess of the Spessartines are unusual and different from the regular Tongbei garnets. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Wonderful!
