Item Description
A group of wine-red color, translucent/gemmy, lustrous group of modified trapezohedral Spessartine crystals are associated with minor Smoky Quartz and white Albite. The largest Spessartine measures 1.2 cm across. The piece is very three dimensional showing beautiful overall form and displays well from several angels. For Garnet collectors, this is a nice specimen, and a good display piece of this now well-known material.
