Spessartine on Microcline

Item Description

These Spessartines are some of the most attractive and highly displayable specimens to come out of China. This particular piece features many highly lustrous, gemmy, rich reddish-orange trapezohedrons measuring up to 4 mm sitting atop chalky, white, partially etched Microcline feldspar matrix. Very little damage, and fine quality! 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 crystallized specimens. Gem orange Spessartine specimens are NOT easy to find these days from any locality.
