From a recent find comes this beautiful combo of gem Garnet var. Spessartine crystals growing on black Tourmaline var. Schorl. The base is formed by porcelain white Albite. Spessartines have perfect trapezohedral shape to 10mm big. They are sharp, highly lustrous, with a tremendous deep wine red color. The crystals are vitreous and gem. Schorl is well crystallized, with a strong luster and nice striations. Complete on 360 degree. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Superb!
