This is a fine Spessartine and Smoky Quartz specimen from Tongbei. The garnets have a beautiful uniform deep orange color, excellent gemminess, and a terrific luster. Most of the Spessartines are 2-3 mm, but some actually reach .6 cm, and with their gemminess, they absolutely glow under light. There are five lovely terminated Smoky Quartz crystals, the largest of which reaches 2.2 cm.
