Spessartine on Doubly-Terminated Smoky Quartz

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 lustrous, gemmy, bright orange trapezohedrons measuring up to 4 mm sitting atop a fine quality, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, DOUBLY-TERMINATED Smoky Quartz group! Very little damage, and so showy! The fact that the Smoky is doubly-terminated is rare in my experience with this material. The color in the Spessartine crystals is very attractive, and they are not at all dull or 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 are NOT easy to find these days from any locality. Valued at $1,800.
