This sharp, sparkling specimen hosts very high quality garnet crystals up to 1 cm, from the classic older garnet location in China. The quality of luster, sharpness, color, and gemminess still sets these apart from most newly found material (at a location nearby, but different). These are wine red with a hint of orange, just bright and beautiful.
