Item Description

Absolutely scintillating, brilliantly gemmy and lustrous spessartine garnet crystals are festooned on three sides the albite and muscovite matrix on this striking and colorful specimen from the Shigar Valley and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The gorgeous colors of the sharp dodecs range from cherry-red to reddish-orange and the crystals are up to 4 mm. For the size and maybe for any size, these are about the gemmiest Pakistan spessartines we have seen. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
