Spessartine with Smoky Quartz on Microcline

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 gemmy, orange red trapezohedra measuring up to 4 mm associated with a 3.4 cm Smoky Quartz crystal aesthetically flaring off of white Microcline matrix. It should be noted that the color in the Spessartine crystals is very attractive, and they are not at all 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 on matrix are NOT easy to find these days from any locality.
