Item Description
Spessartine Garnet is a popular gem / mineral for collectors, due to it's color and attractive crystal form. Good stones are not typically seen on the market with much regularity due to low supply these days. This set features a lovely modified dodecahedral crystal of Spessartine with relatively sharp faces and good internal gemminess. The matching stone is an attractive "Modified Round Brilliant" cut gem with a brownish-orange color and nearly eye clean clarity. Together they match up well, and gem Garnets are always popular with collectors.
