Item Description
Pair of euhedral, deep red Spessartines on Quartz from high in the Himalayas. The largest of the lustrous Garnets is about 8 mm across, and the two crystals overlap. They are gemmy to translucent, and the deep red color does have a hint of purple in it. A very attractive thumbnail.
