'Citrus' orange Spessartine crystal from old finds in Tanzania. This is a wonderful crystal, undamaged with good form however it was intergrown with another (now gone)
crystal and therefore one side is somewhat flat with a myriad of small crystal faces. There are some black Braunite inclusions, but the crystal is very transparent with gem zones that could be faceted.
