Item Description
A nifty combination miniature of three sharp, spessartine garnet trapezohedrons aesthetically clustered on pearlescent to ivory-colored albite matrix from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The lustrous garnets look dark wine-red under normal light but glow with beautiful cherry-red gemminess, when backlit. The large spesartine is 1.1 cm and this piece has multiple fine display views. Valued by Herb at $250, five or more years ago. Sharp!
