Item Description

Yet another beauty from Tongbei; each of the ones features in this set of auctions is quite different from the others. Here, you have several smokies crossing one another. They are unusually clear for this locality, and the spessartines are gloriously bright and gemmy. As you can see, the horizontal crystal is doubly-terminated - unusual for these, as they mostly grow up from the matrix. This one grew sideways across the vertical crystal. REALLY aesthetic!
