Small Cabinet, 7.9 x 6.9 x 2.9 cm

The contrasting matrix here is sprinkled with dozens of extremely bright, glassy and gemmy spessartine garnets. Rather than being massed together as is familiar on these Tongbei specimens, this is from a batch with isolated crystals, which adds a lot to the beauty.
