Item Description
A few rich wine red color, somewhat lustrous trapezohedral Spessartine crystals sitting on rather lustrous, semi-translucent Microcline crystals with a few white Albite crystals on the back. The largest Spessartine measures 6 mm. For Garnet collectors, this is an attractive Fe-rich Spessartine specimen, and the pieces from Shengus are among the best red Spessartines in the world.
