Item Description
Two striking large spessartine garnets are dramatically set next to each other on the sculptural combination matrix from Shengus. The impressive garnets are 4.0 and 3.8 cm across. The complex crystals are very glassy and highly lustrous. They are a rich wine-red under normal light, but GLOW with cherry-red gemminess, when brightly lit! The very interesting and unusual matrix includes the section of a 6.5 cm schorl crystal (both ends are visible), that is enclosed by intergrown lustrous, transparent to translucent, terminated smoky quartz crystals. Highly pearlescent muscovite plates on one end are an additional accessory that adds more character. These two spessartines are 'monsters' for the locale and are rare in this quality and combination.
