Description

The most clear of a small number I have seen of those rare locality pieces. Sharp, textbook, glassy hessonite on matrix of more smaller crystals and green mica! The clarity is the best I know of, with the crystal being very gemmy orange!The overall aesthetics are superb and there are marginal contacts on the piece and not on the crystal!Perfect!
