A beautiful, extremely well-formed .7 cm spessartine sitting perfectly on a large euhedral feldspar crystal. The mandarin-orange color of the Garnet is terrific - both in intensity and uniformity, as well a visual appeal. The luster is excellent, as is the habit. Extremely aesthetic. Ex. Charlie Key.
