Superb cluster of 'citrus' orange Spessartine crystals with Mica from old finds in Tanzania. These were mostly found as partial or damaged crystals with complete groups of crystals such as this much less common. All the crystals except a few small crystals on the bottom are complete and undamaged and without black inclusions. Translucent with great color that glows bright orange when backlit.
