Spessartine Garnet with Smoky Quartz

Item Description

These Spessartines are some of the most attractive and highly displayable specimens to come out of China. This particular piece features dozens of lustrous, gemmy, fiery orange-red trapezohedral crystals with dodecahedral modifications of Spessartine measuring up to 3 mm associated with gemmy, rich "morion" color Smoky Quartz prisms, plus minor greenish Muscovite and metallic pale golden Pyrite sitting pinkish-beige Microcline matrix. The color in the Spessartine crystals is very attractive, and they are not at all dull or pitted. This material is becoming less and less available on the market, and keep in mind that there are only a few worldwide localities that produce this color of Spessartine in fine specimens. Gem orange Spessartine specimens are NOT easy to find these days from any locality.
