An aesthetic specimen of sharp, lustrous, dark wine-red spessartine crystals to 1.5 cm on nicely contrasting matrix from a very uncommon California locality, the Lakeview Prospect in Riverside County. A trivial termination bruise on the large crystal and minor periphery damage is certainly not detracting. Ex Tim Sherburn Collection. 3.9 x 3.0 x 2.6 cm
