Item Description

Gemmy, beautiful rich cinnamon-orange, spessartine garnet trapezohedrons, to 4 mm, are dramatically festooned on the rolling feldspar matrix. The glassy, translucent, rich smoky quartz crystals are a super accent to this sculptural and excellent small cabinet combination. Pristine. The base of the 2.0 cm smoky on the lower left has impressions, where other garnets once lay, but there is no damge, per se. Classic and aesthetic Tongbei combination material.
