Description

That´s not a common Spessartine from this well known locality. These crystals show a luster and - which is most important - a clarity, which is not a quantum less good as crystals from Jeffrey mine. They are absolutely gemmy and their luster is just perfect! Also their dimension is remarkable - they are up to 10,5 mm across. And the specimen shows great contrast with Feldspat and a very sculptural and aesthetic assemble. A killer small-miniature piece in fantastic condition.
