Description

Several spessartine - biggest one has a diameter of 1.5 cm from the United States.

It is from an old collection (bought in 1997), but the detailed label is not readable anymore - maybe Arizona.

Maybe an expert for garnet-specimens of USA knows the location on  basis of the matrix and is interested.
