Item Description

Spessartine garnet is RARE compared to the beautiful topaz and bixbyite specimens from the famous Thomas Range of Utah. Two sharp crystals are aesthetically set in sparkly microcrystalline quartz in the well-placed vug on the sculptural rhyolite matrix. The impressive, sharp, lustrous dodecahedron is 1.2 cm long and has flashes of wine-red translucence under bright light. This is a good sized spessartine for the locale on an excellent display quality matrix.
