Spessartine, Schorl, Muscovite and Albite with Aquamarine

Item Description

An impressive, architectural, 3-dimensional, LARGE CABINET, combination specimen from recent finds at Shengus, Paksitan. Large, up to 3.5 cm, gemmy and lustrous, cherry-red spessartine garnets are nestled amongst or flank a striking parallel-growth cluster of pearlescent, silvery muscovite blades. One side hosts an dramatic T-shaped, combination cluster. A 7.0 cm wide cluster of gemmy spesartines caps a 5.8 cm tall, super lustrous and striated schorl crystal! There are even a couple of gemmy aquamarine crystals to 1.7 cm and quartz crystals hidden amongst the muscovites! The whole piece rests on snow-white albite. The large spessartines are pristine and there is only modest contacting on the right side of the spessartine/schorl "T" cap. Contacting on the large spessartine side is a very modest detraction in the overall context of this dramatic large piece. Wow! Really a large, impressive, Pakstan combination specimen. Valued at $2500-3000.
