Item Description

Outstanding example of the rarely seen Spessartine/Schorl/Muscovite combinations from the Villeneuve mine in Quebec - rare today! The thin sheet of highly-lustrous Muscovite is embedded with intensely-colored, orange-red Spessartines to 3 mm, AND a 6.3 cm long Schorl crystal that provides even more contrast and interest to this already amazing piece. One cannot help but be lured in by the unusual and engaging aesthetics of this unusual and uncommon combination piece. From the noted historic classics collection of Richard 'Dick' Hauck of New Jersey.
