Item Description

Marienfluss, Namibia spessartine garnets are hard to obtain today, as they came from a small early 1980s find. A 1.1 cm, lustrous, translucent, pretty mandarin-orange rounded dodecahedron with frosted faces is aesthetically set in the sculptural chlorite-included quartz matrix. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality of this cute two-sided piece from the Charlie Key Collection.
