Item Description
Two generations of gemmy and lustrous spessartine garnets cover the undulating surface of sharp microcline crystals on this showy combination plate from China. The scattered, larger, cinnamon-orange, dodecahedrons, to 7 mm rest on an earlier generation of scintillating, yellow-orange crystals. Classic and excellent combination material from this locale. We have recently heard, that this locale is now officially closed. So the price will go up on fine quality specimens.
