Spessartine Garnet (superb miniature)

Item Description

A striking, highly aesthetic specimen. The recent discovery of these highly etched but completely terminated spessartine garnets created quite a splash, and you can see why. The sculptural aesthetics, luster and clarity are superb, which are complemented by the lovely wine-red color. It is safe to say these have become very sought-after, and this is an excellent example of this recent find. It is even better in person. The stepped patterns on this particular piece are amazing! The backlit photos really highlight the beautiful wine-red color saturation and gemmyness. This fine piece has a bit of magnesite attached at the base and on the back. A top quality spessartine from this find. 45 grams.
