Item Description
An attractive large combination plate from Tongbei. Gemmy and lustrous, rich cinnamon-orange spessartines to 5 mm are festooned on the feldspar matrix along with small smoky quartz crystals and scattered books of chlorite-coated, muscovite books. In great shape, overall, as only one broken smoky is noticed. One side and the back have been sawed to enhance the display. We have JUST heard, that this locale is now officially closed. So the price will go up on fine quality specimens.
