Smoky Quartz sprinkled with bright orange Spessartine Garnet, a classic Tongbei combo....some of the best showy Spessartine specimens out there, especially if you hold the same opinion as me that crystals on matrix or at least with more associations are superior.

There's plenty more cool things to be found from this deposit but nothing is as famous as these iconic combo pieces.
