Item Description
Super-gemmy and lustrous, sparkling, burnt orange spessartine garnets COVER the feldspar matrix on this excellent, 3-dimensional specimen from recent finds at Tongbei, China. The three smoky quartz crystals are a nice accent and you can see where the garnets have totally encrusted blocky feldspar crystals to 3.3 cm. Nearly pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
