Item Description
Beautiful, gemmy, rich cinnamon-orange spessartine garnets, to 8 mm, cover the mounded matrix. A 4.2 cm, partially garnet clad smoky quartz crystal with a frosted termination dramatically caps this most impressive, sculptural specimen from Tongbei. The 360-degree smoky is pristine and the angled pristine smoky adds pizzazz to this excellent combination. No new material has come out in recent times and this is a choice example.
