Spessartine
Wushan Spessartine Mine, Tongbei, Yunxiao Co., Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, China
Cabinet, 9.8 x 8.4 x 3.4 cm
SOLD
The vast majority of spessartine specimens from Tongbei have a carpet of tightly-massed crystals. Occasionally, however, you get these specimens with ISOLATED crystals, which have a special attractiveness. These are extremely gemmy and lustrous orange/red crystals, with some accenting hexagonal books of silvery muscovite.
