Spessartine Garnet, Quartz & Albite ex Obodda

Item Description

A striking large 4.2 cm complex spessartine garnet crystal is jauntily set on quartz crystal matrix on this dramatically sculptural small cabinet from Shengus. The highly lustrous crystal has rich wine-red color under normal lighting, but GLOWS with cherry-red color when back lit! The glassy, water-clear sharply terminated quartz crystals look like castle towers, when the piece is displayed vertically! A super accessory is the blocky snow-white albite crystal hidden among the quartz points. This artistic combination has multiple fine display views. One lower side of the garnet is contacted, but there is no damage, per se. Choice and uncommon combination Shengus spessartine with an exceptionally large crystal. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued at $1500.
