Item Description

A really COOL varation on the now familiar combination of spessartine garnets with smoky quartz crystals from Tongbei. Here, the smokies have been coated by hyalite opal in a microthin coating - so that the specimen has a unique look as compared to the "usual" Tongbei piece. Stark contrast! This style is from only a few pockets, several years ago.
