A whopper spessartine garnet crystal, measuring 2.3 cm, is nestled in a cluster of large, euhedral crystals of albite. The spessartine is a fine wine-red, with intense glassy luster and very sharp faces. A tube-like book of layered muscovite crystals is on one side of the spessartine. It is quite uncommon to find good spessartines of this size!
