Description:A lovely muted-red color, gemmy, rather lustrous group of modified/etched trapezohedral Spessartine crystals sit atop pourous, etched, lustrous, iron-stained white blocky crystals of Albite with minor Muscovite. The crystal group of Spessartines measures 2.9 cm across. The piece is very three dimensional showing beautiful overall form and aesthetic quality. I don't remember seeing Spessartine like this from Pakistan before, and it is certainly different for Shengus. For Garnet collectors, this is a unique novelty specimen, and a very interesting display piece of this material.
