Complete '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. Excellent form with no significant damage - just a couple insignificant small edge chips. There are both darker areas and areas of bright gemmy orange. Weighs 34.28 grams (about 171 carats). Valued at $400+.
