Single 'citrus' orange Spessartine crystal from old finds in Tanzania. These were mostly found as partial or damaged crystals with complete crystals such as this much less common. Equant form with only slight damage. One tiny area of black inclusions otherwise translucent orange with transparent gem zones. It really glows orange when backlit.
