Item Description

Two generations of gemmy and lustrous spessartine garnets envelop the mounded plate of sharp microcline crystals. Beautiful, cinnamon-orange spessartines to 7 mm are peppered on the earlier generation of smaller, scintillating, yellow-orange spessartines. Tiny, scattered muscovite books are a nice accent. Classic and excellent combination material from this locale. The former dealer label has a $200 price tag. We have JUST heard, that this locale is now officially closed. So the price will go up on fine quality specimens.
