Item Description
Well-striated faces highlight the trapezohedral faces on this sharp, luscious, translucent, rich burnt-orange thumbnail spessartine garnet from the 2007-2008 finds in Tanzania. NOW GONE - no more are being found! Complete all-around and essentially pristine. A few faces are partially contacted, but there is no damage, per se. A beautiful rich orange spessartine with a lot of geometric appeal, too. It GLOWS, when backlit! 5 grams mass.
