Spessartine Garnet 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 very lustrous, rich red color trapezohedra measuring up to 6 mm with very sharp and lustrous Smoky Quartz crystals on Microcline matrix. The color in the Spessartine crystals is very attractive, and they are not at all dull or pitted. The largest Smoky Quartz has a small separation mark on the back where perhaps another Quartz once grew. 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.
