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, rich orange trapezohedron measuring up to 4 mm sitting atop fine quality, sharp, lustrous, gemmy Smoky Quartz crystals. Very little damage, and so showy! 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. Valued at $800.
