Item Description

Gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, cinnamon-orange, spessartine garnet dodecahedrons cover the undulating feldspar and quartz matrix on this excellent and beautiful specimen from Tongbei. A few, small smoky quartz points sticking our are a nice compliment. The periphery wear and one broken quartz point are modest detractions. A fine, scintillating example with outstanding coverage. Valued at $200-250.
