Item Description
Symmetry is one of the great defining characteristics of beauty, whether it is within one particular object or among several. In this case, we have a nearly identical pair of 1 cm Spessartine Garnets, each with the classic dodecahedral habit and beveled edges. They are gemmy, have a lovely deep red color, and the luster is superb. The Garnets are nearly pristine, with only the most minor of wear in one tiny spot on each. Simple and excellent aesthetics.
