Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, wine-red spessartine garnets to 8 mm are very aesthetically clustered on the sculptural, 3-dimensional matrix of frosted, pearlescent white albite crystals from recent finds at Shengus, Pakistan. These garnets are gemmy for the locale, so this is a highly representative specimen for the species and locale. Pristine, except for a single broken crystal at the base. The garnets are very flashy and these are modern classics. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. Valued $500-650.
