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 no damage (there are a few natural, small surface pits). There are some areas of black inclusions, but the rest is really transparent with great color!! I value this at $300 for the great form and large amount of transparent orange gem Spessartine.
