Item Description

Richly saturated red, gemmy and lustrous spessartine garnets are aesthetically intergrown and mounded on this adorable miniature from the Wushan Spessartine Mine. The crystals reach 1.0 cm. Textbook stepped-growth striated faces are a beautiful complement. A few cinnamon-orange crystals on the periphery are nice accessories. Red spessartines from Wushan are RARE compared to the much more prolific cinnamon-orange varietal. Ex Ken Roberts China Collection. An outstanding miniature example of this rare varietal from the locale.
