Spessartine Garnets on Smoky Quartz

A beautiful cluster of gemmy orange spessartine garnets perched on one end of a tabular smoky quartz crystal face—an aesthetic mineral combination prized by collectors worldwide. The spessartine garnets display an adamantine luster and excellent color, standing out vividly against the smoky quartz. While the back of the quartz shows a natural break, the display side remains fully intact, allowing for an excellent presentation. From a now-closed locality, this is a desirable and well-balanced specimen.
