Item Description
Classic Tongbei from the late 1990s, now rare! Here we have two sharp feldspar crystals generously smothered with GEMMY Spessartine Garnets. The beautful Garnets are gemmy and deep orange, and the largest are .5 cm across. Most have superb, glass-like faces, while some have the superb, striated luster that makes them so special. An excellent, aesthetic specimen in which every mm save for the bottom base is completely covered by garnets. Geometric in an unusual fashion, and this is a rare combo thus. Aesthetic, and very high quality. Valued $500-750
