Spessartine Garnet on Feldspar

Item Description

A very attractive thumbnail specimen of the famous Wushan Spessartines. This thumbnail sized piece features dozens of sparkling, gemmy, lustrous brilliant orange color trapezohedra (some have tiny dodecahedral modifications) sitting on off-white colored Feldspar matrix. The largest Spessartine is about 5 mm across, and they are all beautiful to view up close. I really love the fact that the Spessartines are lustrous and smooth - not at all pitted or dull like many Spessartines from various world localities. It wasn't long ago that we saw many of these Spessartines on the market, and now few of them seem to be available so if you want an attractive display specimen of these well-known Garnets, don't miss out on this one.
