Item Description

A sharp deep red, partially translucent, highly lustrous, 2.0 cm, spessartine garnet trapezohedron is aesthetically set and very nicely accented with opposing "books" of pearlescent muscovite plates on a euhedral, blocky, albite crystal from Shengus. Well-formed albite crystals of this size are uncommon from Shengus. Showy and excellent combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
