Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, well-formed, deep wine-red colored trapezohedra of Spessartine measuring up to 8 mm sitting on massive silvery-white Quartz matrix with minor associated Muscovite. These specimens are not common on the market, and if you collect worldwide Garnets or minerals of Mexico, don't miss out on this one. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#1894). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
