Spessartine on Microcline (Ref: 6.2-123)

Tongbei, Yunxiao County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, China
62mm x 52mm x 30mm
Unusually huge and fine Spessartine crystals from this famed locale. Garnets from Tongbei (China) had a huge impact in the mineral world when they first appeared. They are still highly regarded and have become scarce in good quality. This is from the early finds and has the largest complete crystal we have seen, over 2.2 CM across. Normally anything over 1-1.2 CM is considered huge from here. In perfect shape, sawn on the bottom side where removed and with two generations of Spessartine. This is very different from the typical material from this famed locality. Excellent luster, sharpness and a giant crystals. It is impossible to find anything like this now on the market.Sorry. This specimen has been sold. Please view alternatives below.
