Item Description
An impressive, large, mounded combination plate from this obscure Pakistan locale - Raikot. Lustrous, sharp, reddish-brown spessartine dodecahdrons, to 1.3 cm, have nifty zones of golden-brown to orangey-red translucence. The matrix of sharp white albite and quartz crsytals is nicely accented with a scattering of small schorls. Very choice and rare large combination material from this locale from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $1200, more than ten years ago. It is worth more today.
