A fine aesthetic specimen containing three lovely deep wine-red Spessartine Garnets, the largest of which is 2.5 cm across. The luster is very good, as is the color. The dodecahedrons have modified edges, which add a great deal to the mineralogical interest, as well as the aesthetics. Ex. Charlie Key.
