Item Description
One of the very few pieces of this material that I've seen from Sabsir. A few lovely orange-red, gemmy, lustrous modified dodecahedral Spessartine crystals sit atop somewhat lustrous, white Albite with a few associated pinkish colored Apatite crysatls. For Garnet collectors, this is a nice reference specimen, and a fairly decent piece of this well-known material.
