Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, sparkling, burnt-orange spessartine garnets COVER the mounded feldspar matrix on this excellent plate from recent finds at Tongbei, China. The four small smoky quartz crystals poking through are a nice accent. Pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
