Spessartine Garnet on Smoky Quartz

Item Description

Beautiful gem, rich cinnamon-orange spessartine garnet trapezohedrons, to 5 mm, are richly and dramatically embedded on all of the prism faes, but NOT the termination faces on this excellent and colorful combination from the Wushan Spessartine Mine. The very glassy, lustrous, 360-degree smoky has fine color, a striking translucent, jagged multiple termination above a hard-to-see limpid mid-section and a translucent lower body. The dramatic stepped-growth faces really add pizzzazz. Complete all-around and pristine. Every turn presents a different pespective to this fine combination from Tongbei. Little, if any new material has come out in the last five years. Get a good one, when you can. Valued at $500-600.
